摘要
Distant hybridization refers to crosses between two different species or higher-ranking taxa that enables interspecific genome transfer and leads to changes in phenotypes and genotypes of the resulting progeny.If progeny derived from distant hybridization are bisexual and fertile,they can form a hybrid lineage through self-mating,with major implications for evolutionary biology,genetics,and breeding.Here,we review and summarize the published literature,and present our results on fish distant hybridization.Relevant problems involving distant hybridization between orders,families,subfamilies,genera,and species of animals are introduced and discussed,with an additional focus on fish distant hybrid lineages,genetic variation,patterns,and applications.Our review serves as a useful reference for evolutionary biology research and animal genetic breeding.

If progeny derived from distant hybridiza- tion are bisexual and fertile, they can form a hybrid lineage through self-mating, with major implications for evolutionary bi- ology, genetics, and breeding. Here, we review and summarize the published literature, and present our results on fish distant hybridization. Relevant problems involving distant hybridization between orders, families, subfamilies, genera, and species of animals are introduced and discussed, with an additional focus on fish distant hybrid lineages, genetic variation, patterns, and applications. Our review serves as a useful reference for evolutionary biology research and animal genetic breeding.
