Molecular evidence of introgressive hybridization between related species Jankowski's Bunting (Emberiza jankowskii) and Meadow Bunting (Emberiza cioides) (Aves: Passeriformes)

Molecular evidence of introgressive hybridization between related species Jankowski's Bunting (Emberiza jankowskii) and Meadow Bunting (Emberiza cioides) (Aves: Passeriformes)

Natural hybridization, which often occurs between closely related species exhibiting sympatric or parapatric distributions, is an important source of genetic variation within populations. The closely related Jankowski's Bunting (Emberiza jankowskii) and Meadow Bunting (E. cioides) are similar i...
