Mar 30, 2016 at 21:14 comment added Oreotrephes You might also consider whether the term 'introgression' is appropriate in this instance. Like 'hybridization' itself though, 'introgression' is used in different ways...

Mar 30, 2016 at 21:06 comment added Remi.b If you think the answer has been answer, you can check the answer. If you think the question makes little sense, you can delete it. If you think the question has not been answered, you should make sure that other people will understand what is missing to answer the question (or answer the question yourself). Cheers!
Mar 30, 2016 at 21:05 comment added Remi.b I agree with this conclusion :)
Mar 30, 2016 at 21:00 comment added Nico Coallier Haha.... I am revising a text and this person use hybridization to speak of the reproduction between the natural population and the reintroduce population. My question was is hybridization really the good term, I would have use increase gene flow or something like that to be more precise. But since, hybridization can be applied to almost anythings I guess the use of the words is allright.
Mar 30, 2016 at 20:58 comment added Remi.b Hum... not sure I follow the whole thing but you will be free to decide what you estimate answers your question. No problem for the "?", I am happy to see that I am not the only french speaking dude over here who did not know about this syntax difference between french and english.
Mar 30, 2016 at 20:55 comment added Nico Coallier I was just saying that basically , your answer dosen't answer mine since you refer to the species definition debate. I guess there is no proper answer to this question since the species definition is fuzzy. Then, I guess your right and it comes down to the species definition. Sorry for the ''?''...
Mar 30, 2016 at 20:35 comment added Remi.b Sorry, I don't understand your comment and the point you are trying to make. Note that the hybrid does not necessarily have an intermediate morph. Note also that in english (unlike in french) there are no spaces before the "?" (another thing that Biology.SE taught me some time ago) $\ddot \smile$
Mar 30, 2016 at 20:31 comment added Nico Coallier But if we refuse loosing variation and assume every ecotype is a species then we speak of hybridization between ecotype but is it really relevant ? Indeed, when hybridization is used too wide it then loose it's signification... The whole concept of hybridization is based on the idea of two variety (or species or what ever you want to call it) that breed together and produce a intermiedate morph, no ?
Mar 30, 2016 at 20:31 comment added Nico Coallier Thank you for your answer, I know the definition of species is only arbitrary for the purpose of our mind. If we use a Darwinian definition of species so basically a heritable morph then hybridation because interesting.
Mar 30, 2016 at 19:33 comment added Remi.b What do yo call a "Darwinian definition of species"? Do you refer to the so-called "biological definition of species" (which is based on reproductive isolation). Using the biological definition of species, you cannot hybridize different species (by definition).
