Other tests and modelling showed various divergence ranges and the conclusion was a range of less than 6,000 and 117,000 years before present. The study found that coyote ancestry was highest in red wolves from the southeast of the United States and lowest among the Great Lakes region wolves.
Wolves in the eastern Balkans benefitted from the region's contiguity with the former Soviet Union and large areas of plains, mountains and farmlands. Wolves in Hungary occurred in only half the country around the start of the 20th century, and were largely restricted to the Carpathian Basin. Wolf populations in Romania remained largely ...
The group also found deficiencies in the previous study's selection of specimens (two representative coyotes were from areas where recent coyote and gray wolf mixing with eastern wolves is known to have occurred), the lack of certainty in the ancestry of the selected Algonquin wolves, and the grouping of Great Lakes and Algonquin wolves ...
The same study discussed an alternative possibility that the red wolves, which also once overlapped with both species in central Texas, were involved in circuiting the gene flows between the coyotes and gray wolves, much like how the eastern wolf is suspected to have bridged gene flows between gray wolves and coyotes in the Great Lakes region ...
The scientists said they believe the wolves have divided themselves into four packs, with one pack numbering at least 13 wolves. At least one wolf appeared to be living alone.
DNA testing indicated the animal was most likely from the Great Lakes population of wolves, according to the DEC, which noted wild wolves are present in portions of Ontario and Quebec and it is ...
An endangered red wolf waits in a corn field inside the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge on Friday, Dec. 15, 2023. The wild red wolf population dwindled to as few as seven wolves in the ...
Wolves have naturally migrated in the three state region. As of 2021, the estimated stable population is 4,400 in the three states. [20] Wolves may also disperse across the Great Plains into this region from the northern Rocky Mountain region which includes Wyoming with approximately 300 wolves and Colorado with a small population.
