A hybrid dilemma: a molecular investigation of South African bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus pygargus) and blesbok (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi)
2013-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Human-mediated hybridization poses a serious threat to the genetic integrity of threatened inter-fertile species or subspecies, such as the bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus pygargus) and blesbok (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi) in South Africa. The identification of pure and admixed populations is key to sound biodiversity conservation management and practices. Where identification based on morphometric measurements a...
