The article discusses how the level of contact between different species of birds can result in the creation of hybrids. The experimenters chose two types of doves, Streptopelia (S.) vinacea and S. capicola, due to their similar genetic compositions which would make successful reproduction possible. The researchers found that through frequent contact and enough time, a hybrid did result, with some more closely resembling S. vinacea, and others more similar to S. capicola. It suggests that the hybrid zone, over time, results in new breeds. |
