population estimation

Using population models to assess extinction risk and evaluate management actions for species threatened by hybridization

Anthropogenic hybridization is increasing worldwide with unpredictable outcomes for species persistence. Accurately quantifying anthropogenic hybridization in threatened populations is fundamental for assessing extinction risk and for elaborating conservation measures. Hybridization between wolves (Canis lupus) and dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) is an emblematic case that is raising concern for wolf conservation across several countries.
