Rare interspecific hybridisation between sympatric African four-striped mice, and indications of fine-scale intraspecific spatial structure related to social factors
Key Points
Hybridisation occurs between sympatric African four-striped mice, leading to complex genetic interactions.
Significant evidence of intraspecific spatial structure was linked to social factors affecting behaviour.
Analysis of field data shows varying patterns of hybridisation across different social environments.
Implications suggest the need for further studies to understand ecological and genetic dynamics in populations.
