The paper identifies ongoing hybridization between Alpine ibex and domestic goat using SNP analysis and phenotype data, revealing a hybrid swarm in specific regions.

The paper estimates hybridization load in Alpine ibex due to hybridization with domestic goats, finding increased loss-of-function mutations in hybrids compared to non-hybrids.

The paper develops a targeted amplicon sequencing assay to genotype immune-related loci in Alpine ibex, showing it can resolve population structure as effectively as other methods with less data.
