The New Guinea singing dog or New Guinea Highland dog [1] (Canis lupus hallstromi) is an ancient [a] lineage of dog [3] [4] [5] found in the New Guinea Highlands, on the island of New Guinea. Once considered to be a separate species in its own right, under the name Canis hallstromi , it is closely related to the Australian dingo .
The New Guinea singing dog then became a distinct, but closely related, lineage. [22] [89] [21] The Fraser Island dingoes are unique because they cluster with the southeastern dingoes, but exhibit many alleles (gene expressions) similar to the New Guinea singing dog, in addition to showing signs of admixture with the northwestern dingoes.

It is now more generally considered to be a domesticated dog known to share a common ancestry with the Australian dingo, [162] [163] but its status remains contested, following the 2016 discovery of a wild dog population in New Guinea (a.k.a. New Guinea Highland wild dogs). [164] [165] [166]
By the close of the last ice age 11,700 years ago, five ancestral dog lineages had diversified from each other, with one of these being represented today by the New Guinea singing dog. [44] In 2020, the first whole genome sequencing of the dingo and the New Guinea singing dog was undertaken.
Greater bird-of-paradise. The fauna of New Guinea comprises a large number of species of mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, invertebrates and amphibians.. As the world's largest and highest tropical island, New Guinea occupies less than 0.5% of world's land surface, yet supports a high percentage of global biodiversity.
The dog food recommendation should be based on nutrient suitability instead of dog's preferences. Pet owners should consider their dog's breed, size, age, and health condition and choose food that is appropriate for their dog's nutritional needs. [5] In the United States alone, the dog food market was expected to reach $23.3 billion by 2022. [6]
The Central Cordillera, some peaks of which are capped with ice, consists of (from east to west): the Central Highlands and Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea including the Owen Stanley Range in the southeast, whose highest peak is Mount Victoria at 4,038 metres (13,248 feet), the Albert Victor Mountains, the Sir Arthur Gordon Range, and the Bismarck Range, [1] whose highest peak is Mount ...
D. esculenta is believed to have been introduced by the Lapita culture into New Guinea at around 4,000 BP, along with agricultural innovations like wet cultivation as well as swidden farming. [18] [76] [148] In archaeological sites in New Guinea, it is associated with the appearance of high-density populations in the coastal areas. [161]
