Measurements of hybrid fertility and a test of mate preference for two house mouse races with massive chromosomal divergence

Abstract Background Western house mice Mus musculus domesticus are among the most important mammalian model species for chromosomal speciation. Hybrids between chromosomal races of M. m. domesticus suffer various degrees of fertility reduction between full fertility and complete sterility, depending...
