Multiple uprising invasions of Pelophylax water frogs, potentially inducing a new hybridogenetic complex

Abstract The genetic era has revolutionized our perception of biological invasions. Yet, it is usually too late to understand their genesis for efficient management. Here, we take the rare opportunity to reconstruct the scenario of an uprising invasion of the famous water frogs (Pelophylax) in south...
