of course some care. But there is no way to actually tell. The false belief in MTDna is funny. You cannot tell a hybrid unless you have the Dna footprint of its actual parents. If you had the actual parents, then you would know you had hybrids.

The problem is, DNA footprints vary from local to local, within a single species. And does as much as it does to different species. Or so I am told.

Also, morphs of any type are NOT normal in nature. Therefore, they are abnormal. So morphs, crosses, hybrids, are all treated the same in nature. Either they "fit" and establish something new(new phenotype) or they dilute or perish and the population stays the same.

Again, its selective pressures that determine the actual narrow phenotype from a large diverse genotype. And these pressures are the same for mutts, crosses, hybrids, etc. Fit or disappear. Cheers
