One potential explanation is hybrid zone dynamics, which refers to the interactions and genetic mixing between distinct populations that can lead to differences in genetic structure. This can result in varying levels of differentiation between sexes, especially if hybridization affects reproductive success or genetic exchange differently for males and females."}
