Interbreeding and production of fertile offspring between the two species has been recorded in captivity, and more recently in the wild.
-The biological species concept emphasized the absence of gene flow. Which alternative species concept(s) is(are) applicable to explaining the hybridization between grizzly and polar bears?
A) the morphological species concept, since it puts emphasis on similarities between the two species
B) the ecological species concept, as it addresses organisms' adaptations to changing environmental conditions
C) the allopatric species concept, since it emphasizes geographical barriers
D) A, B, and C
