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

Vigilance and foraging behaviour of female caribou in relation to predation risk
Rangifer, 1997 Behaviour of female caribou (Rangifer tarandus) was investigated during the calving season on ranges in Alaska and West Greenland with the purpose of determining whether investment in vigilance behaviour differed between areas with and without natural ...
