Numerous pairs of evolutionarily divergent mammalian species have been shown to produce hybrid offspring. In some cases, F<sub>1</sub> hybrids are able to produce F<sub>2</sub>s through matings with F<sub>1</sub>s. In other instances, the hybrids are only able to produce offspring themselves through backcrosses with a parent species owing to unisexual sterility (Haldane's Rule). Here, we explicitly tested whether genetic distance, computed from mitochondrial and nuclear genes, can be used as a p ...[more]
