Postglacial species displacement in <it>Triturus</it> newts deduced from asymmetrically introgressed mitochondrial DNA and ecological niche models

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>If the geographical displacement of one species by another is accompanied by hybridization, mitochondrial DNA can introgress asymmetrically, from the outcompeted species into the invading species, over a large area. We explore this p...
