Robertsonian translocations in Danish sika deer (Cervus nippon). Markers for absent F1-hybridization with red deer (C. elaphus) and potential models for selection, speciation and infertility.

2026-08-14

Abstract excerpt

EU has reclassified the sika deer (Cervus nippon) as an undesirable invasive species based on reports that hybridization with the indigenous red deer (C. elaphus) may produce fertile offspring. Since sika-derived DNA previosuly introduced into the red deer population (introgression) cannot be removed, the crucial question is whether new (F1) hybridisation occur. To address this, we analysed the chromosomes in 56 s...
