There are several examples where habitat alteration is believed to be responsible for an increased frequency of hybridization.
However, civilization can also have the opposite effect, for example when you build a giant city right where two or more types ecosystems merge. San Antonio, Texas, Saltillo MX, and Monterey MX are three examples. These cities are so large and impassable that they can (obviously) restrict corridors of natural gene flow. ----- Herp Conservation Unlimited
