Unravelling the Scientific Debate on How to Address Wolf-Dog Hybridization in Europe

Abstract: Anthropogenic hybridization is widely perceived as a threat to the conservation of biodiversity. Nevertheless, to date, relevant policy and management interventions are unresolved and highly convoluted. While this is due to the inherent complexity of the issue, we hereby hypothesize that a lack of agreement concerning management goals and approaches, within the scientific community, may explain the lack of social awareness Donfrancesco et al.Addressing Wolf-Dog Hybridization in Europe on this phenomenon, and t… Show more

“…Our multiple-criteria approach can help wildlife managers and decision makers in more efficiently targeting the available resources for the long-term conservation of species threatened by anthropogenic hybridization.Over the last decades, thanks to the growing availability of genetic and genomic data, hybridization has been increasingly studied for its evolutionary and conservational implications on the long-term survival of the involved taxa 1-5 . However, while natural hybridization between closely related taxa is frequently acknowledged as an evolutionary process providing novel adaptive gene assemblages 6,7 , anthropogenic hybridization (AH), mainly caused by intentional admixture, translocations, habitat modifications and climate changes 8-10 , is globally considered a serious conservation threat to the genetic integrity of local populations, which might be compromised by gene introgression from alien or domesticated species [11][12][13][14][15][16] . Thus, the consequences of such human-mediated process should be continuously monitored to evaluate their real effects on the viability of natural populations 5,17 .However, to date, even in the era of genomics 4,18 , the concept of hybrid itself is rather fleeting and, consequently, legal status and management of hybrids are often poorly regulated by national and international laws, hampering the conservation of endangered species 12,14,[19][20][21][22]…”
