Comparative assessment of genetic and morphological variation at an extensive hybrid zone between two wild cats in southern Brazil.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

Increased attention towards the Neotropical cats Leopardus guttulus and L. geoffroyi was prompted after genetic studies identified the occurrence of extensive hybridization between them at their geographic contact zone in southern Brazil. This is a region where two biomes intersect, each of which is associated with one of the hybridizing species (Atlantic Forest with L. guttulus and Pampas with L. geoffroyi). In...
