摘要: Abstract Quantitative genetic theories are being applied to the wolf population in Italy work out future conservation options. Inbreeding depression. random phenotype changes, decrease of variance may affect powerfully a very low numbers such as that Italian wolf; hybridization with dogs might have helped because small overcome some these problems at expense “purity”. From present scanty data, three schemes for presented and their pessimistic predictions discussed while stressing urgent need research monitoring program structure population.
