Abstract excerpt
Many endangered species have been rescued from the brink of extinction, yet their long-term viability remains uncertain due to the prolonged genetic consequences of severe bottlenecks. In particular, the combined effects of inbreeding and hybridization with closely related species remain poorly understood. Using a comparative conservation genomic framework, we investigated these issues in the Chinese crested tern...
