RE: The golden-crowned manakin (Lepidothrix vilasboasi) was rediscovered in the Amazon after 45 years, and provides scientists with lots of new information about the species

in #nature7 years ago

Wow @valth
I've learnt and re-learnt a lot of things about hybrids from this article, I didn't know that it was a rare thing for hybrids who are vertebrates to be sterile, I thought they would produce even more of their kind or something.
And I didn't even know there was such a thing as a liger/tigon!
Genetics is really beautiful, my gawd.
Thanks a lot

I'm glad you (re-)learned something new, @nevies! Thanks for stopping by my post :)

Yeah, it's really rare in vertebrates, and they do something breed among themselves to create new hybrid offspring, just like what happened with the golden-crowned manakin.
