Deforestation-induced Hybridization in Philippine Frogs Creates a Distinct Phenotype With an Inviable Genotype.

Abstract excerpt

Hybridization plays a major role in the evolutionary history of many taxa and can generate confounding patterns affecting many downstream applications. In this study, we empirically demonstrate how hybridization obfuscates phylogenetic inference (via the artefactual branch effect), species boundaries, and taxonomy in an adaptive radiation of frogs. Philippine narrow-mouthed frogs of the genus Kaloula exhibit a...
