hey adam by your own definition interspecific & intergeneric are the same thing a hybrid.
and i dont know maybe its me but intra-specific seems to technical a term for intergrade but i digress .
as you know i have a hard time with people throwing the term hybrid around when the fact remains true hybrids are rarely discovered or occur in nature whilst intergrades often do occur where ssp.share range.
FTR imho hybrids are when a genus is crossed,intergrades are when a ssp. of the same genus cross,BIG DIFFERANCE ,,,,,,,,thomas
Hybrid: Any crossbreeding between two organisms with differing taxonomical classifications.
Intra-specific hybrid: A cross breed between two organisms within the same species. This is the more correct term for an intergrade.
Interspecific hybrid: A cross breed between two organisms from two differing species.
Intergeneric hybrids: A cross breed between two organisms from two differing genera.
