  text: 1. Hybridisation with an invasive species has the potential to alter the phenotype
    and hence the ecology of a native counterpart. 2. Here data from populations of
    native red deer Cervus elaphus and invasive sika deer Cervus nippon in Scotland
    is used to assess the extent to which hybridisation between them is causing phenotypic
    change. This is done by regression of phenotypic traits against genetic hybrid
    scores. 3. Hybridisation is causing increases in the body weight of sika-like
    deer and decreases in the body weight of red-like females. Hybridisation is causing
    increases in jaw length and increases in incisor arcade breadth in sika-like females.
    Hybridisation is also causing decreases in incisor arcade breadth in red-like
    females. 4. There is currently no evidence that hybridisation is causing changes
    in the kidney fat weight or pregnancy rates of either population. 5. Increased
    phenotypic similarity between the two species is likely to lead to further hybridisation.
    The ecological consequences of this are difficult to predict.
