Summary
Hybrids ofRana ridibunda×2 unnamed Balkan taxa show no evidence, in electrophoretic comparison of soma and oocytes I for 4 enzyme loci, of germ line exclusion of their non-ridibunda genome. In this they differ from hybridsR. ridibunda×R. lessonae, ×an unnamed Italian taxon, and ×R. perezi, which in most cases clonally pass only theirridibunda genome to gametes.
