Bioacoustic Detection of Wolves: Identifying Subspecies and Individuals by Howls
Animals, 2022 Wolves (Canis lupus) are generally monitored by visual observations, camera traps, and DNA traces. In this study, we evaluated acoustic monitoring of wolf howls as a method for monitoring wolves, which may permit detection of wolves across longer ...

Integrating Values and Ethics into Wildlife Policy and Management—Lessons from North America
Animals, 2011 Few animals provoke as wide a range of emotions as wolves. Some see wolves as icons of a lost wilderness; others see them as intruders. As the battle continues between wolf proponents and opponents, finding solutions that resolve conflicts while ...

Genome-wide signatures of population bottlenecks and diversifying selection in European wolves [PDF]
, 2013 Genomic resources developed for domesticated species provide powerful tools for studying the evolutionary history of their wild relatives. Here we use 61K single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) evenly spaced throughout the canine nuclear genome to ...

Wolf Responses to Experimental Human Approaches Using High-Resolution Positioning Data
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Humans pose a major mortality risk to wolves. Hence, similar to how prey respond to predators, wolves can be expected to show anti-predator responses to humans. When exposed to a threat, animals may show a fight, flight, freeze or hide response. The type

Pigment Intensity in Dogs is Associated with a Copy Number Variant Upstream of KITLG. [PDF]
, 2020 Dogs exhibit a wide variety of coat color types, and many genes have been identified that control pigment production, appearance, and distribution. Some breeds, such as the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (NSDTR), exhibit variation in pheomelanin ...

Whole‐genome analyses provide no evidence for dog introgression in Fennoscandian wolf populations
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Hybridization and admixture can threaten the genetic integrity of populations and be of particular concern to endangered species. Hybridization between grey wolves and dogs has been documented in many wolf populations worldwide and is a prominent example
