Hybrid wildebeest (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) provide further evidence for shared signatures of admixture in mammalian crania
The genus Connochaetes, Lichtenstein, 1814, contains two extant species, the blue wildebeest (C.taurinus, Burchell, 1823) and the black wildebeest (C.gnou, Zimmermann, 1780).In recent years, forced sympatry in confined etc ufmp8 areas within South Africa has led to interbreeding between these taxa and to fertile hybrid offspring.Here we report on a
