Hybridisation with introduced chukars (Alectoris chukar) threatens the gene pool integrity of native rock (A. graeca) and red-legged (A. rufa) partridge populations (2007, background): “The occurrence of natural hybridisation is relatively frequent in birds (Grant and Grant, 1992), and anthropogenic hybridisation has been documented in game bird species, particularly in galliforms and waterfowl (Rhymer and Simberloff, 1996; Mank et al., 2004; Barilani et al., 2007).”
THE MOLECULAR TOOLBOX: GENETIC TECHNIQUES IN WILDLIFE ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT (2005, background): “In other cases, prolonged separation of populations resulted in recognizable subspecies that have just now come into secondary contact due to anthropogenic influences (Mank et al. 2004).”
Detecting introgressive hybridisation in rock partridge populations (Alectoris graeca) in Greece through Bayesian admixture analyses of multilocus genotypes (2007, background): “…populations have been well documented in fish (Perry et al. 2002; Hallerman 2003), but threatens to local gene pools are alarmingly high also in game birds, as galliforms and waterfowl, which are restocked to contrast the decline of over-hunted populations (Randi et al. 2003; Mank et al. 2004).”
