Hallo everyone,
you think it is possible that the cross between two species of crested newt (specifically carnifex x dobrogicus) gives rise to a partially fertile offspring?
this may limit the loss of purity of the species in its native range in nature. In captivity it was found that hybridization between triturus marmoratus and triturus cristatus behaves in an only 12% of embryonic survival of specimens hybrids as compared with 45% of the pure species.
Between triturus carnifex x triturus dobrogicus there is some testimony among you?
the offspring has the same capacity to fertilize or decrease?
I'm curious.

Sorry for my bad english and sorry if I bored.
 
Quite a few hybrid's are fertile, especially caudata hybrids.
 
I know that T. carnifex and T. cristatus do hybridise to produce fertile offspring - it is a problem where carnifex has been introduced into the range of cristatus.

yes, to avoid losing the purity of the species.
