Recolonizing gray wolves increase parasite infection risk in their prey. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 AbstractThe recent recolonization of Central Europe by the European gray wolf (Canis lupus) provides an opportunity to study the dynamics of parasite transmission for cases when a definitive host returns after a phase of local extinction. We investigated whether a newly established wolf population increased the prevalence of those parasites in ungulate

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Regulated harvest is a relatively new phenomenon for gray wolves (Canis lupus) in the contiguous United States. Most studies of wolf harvest have been conducted in northern latitudes where wolf populations are large and human densities are low.

Estimating biomass of berries consumed by gray wolves
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Gray wolves (Canis lupus) consume berries and other wild fruits seasonally when available or abundant. However, a method to convert percent frequency of occurrence or percent volume of berries in wolf scats to percent biomass has not yet been developed ...

Natural Selection and Origin of a Melanistic Allele in North American Gray Wolves. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2018 Pigmentation is often used to understand how natural selection affects genetic variation in wild populations since it can have a simple genetic basis, and can affect a variety of fitness-related traits (e.g., camouflage, thermoregulation, and sexual display).

Considering Pleistocene North American wolves and coyotes in the eastern Canis origin story
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The evolutionary origins and hybridization patterns of Canis species in North America have been hotly debated for the past 30 years. Disentangling ancestry and timing of hybridization in Great Lakes wolves, eastern Canadian wolves, red wolves, and ...

EPAS1 variants in high altitude Tibetan wolves were selectively introgressed into highland dogs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Admixture can facilitate adaptation. For example, black wolves have obtained the variant causing black coat color through past hybridization with domestic dogs and have higher fitness than gray colored wolves.

iScience, 2023 Summary: Domestication has altered dogs’ conspecific social organization compared to their closest, non-domesticated relatives, gray wolves. Wolves live in packs whose survival depends on coordinated behavior, but dogs rely less on conspecifics, which ...
