Description
The primary aim of the 12-month fellowship is to allow Mykola Drohvalenko (MD) to finish analyses and writing of his PhD thesis entitled “Ontogenetic features of Pelophylax esculentus complex, crucial for sustainability of their hemiclonal population systems”. The Pelophylax esculentus waterfrog complex is well-known for hybridogenesis, a reproductive pathway involving clonal transmission of part of the genome of hybrid frogs. It is also famous for complex natural populations consisting of two or more waterfrog species and their hybrids, often involving introgression of mitochondrial (mtDNA)
