Abstract excerpt

Anthropogenic hybridization with domesticated relatives is reshaping the genetics of many wild species, yet reconstructing how and when such admixture unfolded is rarely possible without long-term sampling. Here, we use hundreds of museum samples representing North American mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) populations dating from 1800 to today to reconstruct the tempo and mode of interactions between wild-origin...
