Islands and hybrid zones: combining the knowledge from “Natural Laboratories” to explain phylogeographic patterns of the European brown hare

Islands and hybrid zones: combining the knowledge from “Natural Laboratories” to explain phylogeographic patterns of the European brown hare

Abstract Background The aim of the study was to use hybrid populations as well as island populations of the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) to explore the effect of evolutionary events, such as the post-deglaciation translocations, spontaneous and human-mediated, local adaptation and the genet...
