  "summary": "EU has reclassified the sika deer (Cervus nippon) as an undesirable invasive species based on reports that hybridization with the indigenous red deer (C. elaphus) may produce fertile offspring. Since sika-derived DNA previosuly introduced into the red deer population (introgression) cannot be removed, the crucial question is whether new (F1) hybridisation occur. To address this, we analysed the…",
