Cross-breeding between invasive and native species (hybridization) is one of the potential ways that climate change can impact biodiversity; unfortunately there is little data on this phenomenon. Now, research shows that rapid climate-warming has exacerbated interactions between native trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) and the non-native species (Oncorhynchus mykiss) through invasive hybridization in western North America.
