Strong spatial segregation between wildcats and domestic cats may explain low hybridization rates on the Iberian Peninsula.

Zoology (Jena, Germany) - 1 Dec 2015

Gil-Sánchez J M, Jaramillo J, Barea-Azcón J M

Abstract excerpt

The European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) is an endangered felid impacted by genetic introgression with the domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus). The problem of hybridization has had different effects in different areas. In non-Mediterranean regions pure forms of wildcats became almost extinct, while in Mediterranean regions genetic introgression is a rare phenomenon. The study of the potential factors...
