We provide a review and synthesis of key findings in phylogeographic research on terrestrial
animals in the Aegean archipelago (Greece) and surrounding regions (Greek mainland …

The current paper presents the first effort to organize a comprehensive review of the Invasive
Alien Species (IAS) of Greece. For this purpose, a database was developed with fields of …

The widespread occurrence of free‐ranging domestic or feral carnivores (dogs, cats) or
ungulates (pigs, goats), and massive releases of captive‐reproduced game stocks …

Hybridization between wild species and their domestic counterparts may represent a major
threat to natural populations. However, high genetic similarity between the hybridizing taxa …

Interspecific hybridization is an important evolutionary phenomenon that generates genetic
variability in a population and fosters species diversity in nature. The availability of large …

Powerful and accurate detection of first-generation (F1) hybrids and backcrosses in nature is
needed to achieve a better understanding of the function and dynamics of introgression. To …

Cross-breeding between wild and free-ranging domestic species is one of the main
conservation problems for some threatened species. The situation of wildcats (Felis silvestris …

Abstract The endangered European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) is represented, today,
by fragmented and declining populations whose genetic integrity is considered to be …

Detection of hybridization and introgression in wild populations that have been
supplemented by hatchery fish is necessary during development of conservation and …

The release of domesticated organisms into natural populations may adversely affect these
populations through predation, resource competition, and the introduction of disease …
