A rare hybrid bird, resulting from the interbreeding of a green jay and a blue jay, was discovered in Texas, likely due to climate change causing overlapping ranges of the two species for the first time in history, highlighting how shifting habitats can lead to new species interactions.
A rare hybrid bird called the 'Grue Jay', a mix between a Blue Jay and a Green Jay, was discovered near San Antonio, highlighting rapid environmental changes and species interactions due to climate change. Genetic testing confirmed its parentage, and such hybrids are unusual given the distant relation between the parent species, which are expanding their ranges northward.
Biologists in Texas discovered a rare hybrid bird, resulting from a green jay and a blue jay, likely due to climate change expanding their ranges and causing them to interbreed, marking a potential first in natural vertebrate hybridization linked to recent climate shifts.
