Introgression and disruption of migration routes have shaped the genetic integrity of wildebeest populations

Abstract The blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) is a keystone species in savanna ecosystems from southern to eastern Africa, and is well known for its spectacular migrations and locally extreme abundance.
