Hybridization and massive mtDNA unidirectional introgression between the closely related Neotropical toads <it>Rhinella marina </it>and <it>R. schneideri </it>inferred from mtDNA and nuclear markers

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The classical perspective that interspecific hybridization in animals is rare has been changing due to a growing list of empirical examples showing the occurrence of gene flow between closely related species. Using sequence data from...
