摘要: Conflicting interpretations of the influence coyote hybridization on wolf recovery in western Great Lakes (WGL) states have stemmed from disagreement over systematics North American wolves. Questions regarding their status resulted. We addressed these issues with phylogenetic and admixture analysis DNA profiles wolves, WGL wolves Wisconsin coyotes developed autosome Y-chromosome microsatellites mitochondrial control region sequence. Hybridization was assessed by comparing haplotypes exhibited sympatric coyotes. Genetic variability connectivity were also examined. These analyses support recognition Canis lycaon as a unique species present found evidence between C. lupus but no recent The recolonized are genetically similar to historical should be considered restored.
