| cline |
or Clinal belt. This is a region of overlap in the geographical ranges of two species or sub-species capable of inter-breeding. Often there is a gradient in the physical features of the species across the belt due to hybridization. Occasionally one of these natural hybrids is encountered in captivity. Dr. Smith indicates that the occurrence of natural hybrids may be more common than we might suppose (Smith, 1990).
