Gamete types, sex determination and stable equilibria of all-hybrid populations of diploid and triploid edible frogs (<it>Pelophylax esculentus</it>)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Triploid individuals often play a key role in speciation by hybridization. An understanding of the gamete types (ploidy and genomic content) and stability of hybrid populations with triploid individuals is therefore of importance for...
