However, recent behavioural observations have shown that their interbreeding descendants almost lose the ability to reproduce, suggesting that they should be classified as different species.

The evidence from escaped domesticated animals that he assessed was mixed and complicated by both the decreased survival rates of domesticates in the wild and, in some cases, by their interbreeding with wild relatives.

Our recent study looked for evidence of a reproductive isolation in a postglacial lake inhabited by both phylogroups but we found no results that would point toward barriers to their interbreeding (Lajbner et al. 2010).
