Glossary

  • Hybridisation: cross-breeding between two different species or subspecies.
  • Inbreeding: the breeding of closely related individuals. An inbred population usually has less genetic variability and this is generally disadvantageous for its long-term survival and success.
  • Subspecies: a different race of a species, which is geographically separated from other populations of that species.
