New NIMBioS Science: Model shows how species can reemerge after collapse
Species pairs that disappear through hybridization after human-induced changes to the environment can reemerge if the disturbance is removed, according to a new mathematical model that shows the conditions under which reemergence might happen. The study appears in Evolution and … Continue reading
