Identification of Natural Hybrids between <i>Ahlbergia frivaldszkyi</i> (Lederer, 1853) and <i>Callophrys rubi</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae) Using Mitochondrial and Nuclear Markers

Identification of Natural Hybrids between <i>Ahlbergia frivaldszkyi</i> (Lederer, 1853) and <i>Callophrys rubi</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae) Using Mitochondrial and Nuclear Markers

Natural hybridization is rather widespread and common in animals and can have important evolutionary consequences. In terms of taxonomy, exploring hybridization and introgression is crucial in defining species boundaries and testing taxonomic hypotheses. In the present paper, we report on natural hy...
