title: [Gene diffusion in hybrid populations of green frogs Rana esculenta L., 1758 complex (Amphibia, Ranidae) from the Dnepr Basin].
abstract: Population-genetic analysis of hybrid populations of green frogs from the Dnepr basin demonstrated limited gene introgression in diploid hybrids in addition to semiclonal reproduction, which is typical for Rana esculenta hybrids. Introgression is largely confined to the Ldh-B locus: the gene of R. lessonae is introduced into the R. ridibunda genome. This phenomenon is unstable as it is geographically restricted and absent in populations of the E-L type.
