Abstract: Abstract Introduced invasive species such as the wild boar (Sus scrofa) represent a huge threat to the biodiversity of small islands, in that they may lead to ecological disequilibria and taxa extinctions. Additionally, if introduced… read more here.

Abstract: Autochthonous pig breeds are usually reared in extensive or semi-extensive production systems that might facilitate contact with wild boars and, thus, reciprocal genetic exchanges. In this study, we analysed variants in the melanocortin 1 receptor… read more here.

Abstract: The admixture of domestic pig into French wild boar populations has been monitored since the 1980s thanks to the existence of a cytogenetic difference between the two sub‐species. The number of chromosomes is 2n =… read more here.
