Extensive Rangewide Mitochondrial Introgression Indicates Substantial Cryptic Hybridization in the Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera)

Extensive Rangewide Mitochondrial Introgression Indicates Substantial Cryptic Hybridization in the Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera)

Widespread population declines of the Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) are thought to be due in part to hybridization with the expanding Blue-winged Warbler (V. pinus), which predictably replaces Golden-winged Warblers at breeding sites in which the two species come into contact.
