Integrating ecological and molecular data to investigate species maintenance and interspecific hybridization between the redbreast sunfish (Lepomis auritus) and the pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus)

Abstract: True sunfishes (genus Lepomis) of North America are renowned for hybridization, although hybrids often comprise of only a fraction of the sunfish population in natural systems. Species boundaries may be maintained through premating mechanisms (e.g., ethological and habitat isolation), which may be facilitated by the promiscuous sunfish mating system; primarily, singular males guard nests which multiple females visit. Natural hybridization occurs between redbreast (L. auritus (Linnaeus, 1758)) and pumpkinseed (… Show more
