The Role of Hybrid Vigor in the Replacement of Pecos Pupfish by Its Hybrids with Sheepshead Minnow (2004, background): “Studies of the behavioral and ecological performance of hybrids can provide valuable information to those interested in the genesis and loss of biological diversity (Scribner 1993; Grant & Grant 1997; Wolf et al. 2001).”
Interspecific Pollen Transfer: Magnitude, Prevalence and Consequences for Plant Fitness (2008, background): “This mechanism of hybridization has been found to operate even with low levels of pollen transfer, and may represent a serious threat to endangered species, leading even to their extirpation from native communities (Wolf et al., 2001; Burguess et al., 2008).”
The EPPO prioritization process for invasive alien plants (2010, background): “There are exceptions for alien species hybridizing with native species, which may pose a high risk even at low densities of the alien plant (Daehler & Strong, 1997; Huxel, 1999; Wolf et al., 2001).”
Genetic Identification of Spotted Owls, Barred Owls, and Their Hybrids: Legal Implications of Hybrid Identity (2004, background): “1; Grant 1966; Taylor & Forsman 1976; Wright 1977; Dunbar et al. 1991; Wright & Hayward 1998; Houston & McGowan 1999; Holt et al. 2001; Kelly et al. 2003).”
Molecular analysis of hybridisation between wild and domestic cats (Felis silvestris) in Portugal: implications for conservation (2008, background): “Accordingly, we suggest that regional and global management strategies should recognize the prevention of crossbreeding between European wildcat and domestic cat as high conservation priority (Randi et al. 2001; Wolf et al. 2001).”
Phenotypic Differentiation between Three Ancient Hybrid Taxa and Their Parental Species (2002, methodology): “First, Kruskal-Wallis comparisons are robust to variation in sample sizes and to deviations from a Gaussian distribution, both of which characterized this data set, whereas ANOVA is not.”
Social environment and reproductive interference affect reproductive success in the frog Rana latastei (2003, background): “Extinction through introgression, for example, depends on the breakdown of sexual isolation and has been shown in simulation models to depend additionally on environmental factors, such as species relative abundance and opportunities for habitat segregation (Epifanio and Philipp, 2000; Wolf et al., ”
Ecological Effects of Transgenic Crops and the Escape of Transgenes into Wild Populations (2004, background): “These effects (see also Huxel 1999, Wolf et al. 2001, Ferdy & Austerlitz 2002) could lead to extinction by hybridization (e.g., Levin et al. 1996, Rhymer & Simberloff 1996) and to wild populations that are endangered because of hybridization with crops (Ellstrand 2003, table 9.4).”
First evidence of hybridization between endangered sterlets (Acipenser ruthenus) and exotic Siberian sturgeons (Acipenser baerii) in the Danube River (2009, background): “Simulations have demonstrated that hybridisation is the most rapidly acting genetic threat to endangered populations, with extinction often occurring in less than five generations (Wolf et al. 2001).”
The silent extinction: climate change and the potential hybridization-mediated extinction of endemic high-mountain plants (2015, background): “Introgressive hybridization is especially detrimental for rare endemic species if they come into contact with widespread congeners because there is a high probability of complete admixture (Levin et al. 1996; Wolf et al. 2001; Thompson et al. 2009).”
Introgression variability among Iberian brown trout Evolutionary Significant Units: the influence of local management and environmental features (2006, background): “The harmful effects of hybridisation have led to the extinction of many populations and species (Wolf, Takebayashi & Rieseberg, 2001).”
Modeling Human Ecodynamics and Biocultural Interactions in the Late Pleistocene of Western Eurasia (2011, background): “…(e.g., removal of a geographic barrier or transportation by humans of one taxon into the range of another), commonly increase hybridization rates, leading to a rapid disappearance of the less numerous group as a recognizably distinct variant or species (Garrigan and Kingan 2007; Wolf et al. 2001).”
