To hybridise or not to hybridise? Systematic review and meta-analysis of woodpeckers

Antonii Bakai, Jérôme Fuchs, Gerard Gorman, Dominika Sajdak, Łukasz Kajtoch

This study reviews and meta-analyzes hybridization in woodpeckers, finding higher rates in the Neotropics and lower in Afrotropic and Oriental regions, with genetic similarities explaining hybridization patterns.
