Hybridization patterns in two contact zones of grass snakes reveal a new Central European snake species
Abstract Recent studies found major conflicts between traditional taxonomy and genetic differentiation of grass snakes and identified previously unknown secondary contact zones. Until now, little is known about gene flow across these contact zones. Using two mitochondrial markers and 13 microsatelli...
