Hybrid zones are important windows into ecological and evolutionary processes. Our understanding of the significance and prevalence of hybridization in nature has expanded with the generation and analysis of genome‐spanning data sets. That said, most hybridization research still has restricted temporal and spatial resolution, which limits our ability to draw broad conclusions about evolutionary and conservation related outcomes. Here, we argue that rapidly advancing environmental DNA (eDNA) methodology could be adopted for studies of hybrid zones to increase temporal sampling (contemporary and historical), refine and geographically expand sampling density, and collect data for taxa that are difficult to directly sample. Genomic data in the environment offer the potential for near real‐time biological tracking of hybrid zones, and eDNA provides broad, but as yet untapped, potential to address eco‐evolutionary questions.

利用eDNA扩展对杂交区的研究。

混合区是生态和进化过程的重要窗口。随着跨基因组数据集的生成和分析,我们对自然界中杂交的重要性和普遍性的理解得到了扩展。就是说,大多数杂交研究仍然限制了时间和空间分辨率,这限制了我们就进化和保护相关结果得出广泛结论的能力。在这里,我们认为可以采用快速发展的环境DNA(eDNA)方法来研究混合区,以增加时间采样(当代和历史记录),细化并在地理上扩展采样密度,并收集难以直接采样的分类单元数据。环境中的基因组数据为混合区域近乎实时的生物跟踪提供了潜力,
