A study led by the Doñana Biological Station has concluded that the Iberian lynx would have more genetic diversity now than 4000 thousand years ago thanks to the genetic exchange with the Eurasian lynx. This study is essential in the current scenario in which the genetic viability of the Iberian lynx is still not guaranteed
