摘要: Anthropogenic hybridization is widely perceived as a threat to the conservation of biodiversity. Nevertheless, date, relevant policy and management interventions are unresolved highly convoluted. While this due inherent complexity issue, we hereby hypothesize that lack agreement concerning goals approaches, within scientific community, may explain social awareness on phenomenon, absence effective pressure decision-makers. By focusing wolf x dog in Europe, (a) assess state art issues (b) conceptual bases for different viewpoints, (c) provide framework aiming at reducing disagreements. We adopted Delphi technique, involving three-round iterative survey addressed selected sample experts who published Web Science listed journals, last 10 years related topics. Consensus was reached admixed individuals should always be defined according their genetic profile, reference threshold admixture (i.e., q-value assignment tests) formally identification. To mitigate hybridization, agreed adopting preventive, proactive and, when small recovering populations, reactive interventions. Overall, experts' consensus waned became increasingly practical, including adoption lethal removal. suggest three non-mutually exclusive explanations trend: (i) value-laden viewpoints emerge addressing practical issues, particularly diverging between with disciplinary backgrounds (e.g., ecologists, geneticists); (ii) some prefer avoiding risk potentially giving carte blanche opponents (illegally) remove wolves, based issue; (iii) room subjective interpretation opinions result from paucity data effectiveness These results have implications reveal gaps knowledge wide spectrum not only anthropogenic but also role ethical values real-world concerns debate.
