Mismatches between Morphology and DNA in Italian Partridges May Not Be Explained Only by Recent Artificial Release of Farm-Reared Birds

Translocations and releases of farm-reared birds are considered among the major drivers of genetic pollution with consequent loss of genetic diversity in wild populations.In this study, we aimed to assess the extent of hybridization and introgression in the Italian partridges as a consequence of translocation.We surveyed two mitochondrial markers a
