Human impact is noticeable around the globe, indicating that a new era might have begun: Anthropocene. Continuing human activities, including land-use changes, introduction of non-native species and rapid climate change, are altering distributions countless species, often giving rise to human-mediated hybridization events. While interbreeding different populations or can detrimental effects, such as genetic extinction, it be beneficial in terms adaptive introgression an increase diversity. In this paper, I first review mechanisms outcomes anthropogenic based on literature from last five years (2016-2020). The most common leading previously isolated taxa include habitat change (51% studies) (34% intentional 19% unintentional). These human-induced events result (80%). high incidence exchange between hybridizing indicates application genic view speciation (and introgression) provide crucial insights how address This perspective considers genome dynamic collection loci with distinct evolutionary histories, heterogenous genomic landscape differentiation introgression. First, understanding lead better selection diagnostic markers characterize hybrid populations.

Third, comparing pre-Anthropocene current cases novel into swamping collapse during event. However, comparative approach remains tested before applied practice.

Abstract Despite their high abundance and species richness, tilapiines have been compromised by various factors especially overfishing, climate change, uncontrolled fish transfers introductions. Fish introductions negatively impacted native tilapiine populations through competition, predation, hybridization, introgression compromising genetic integrity.
