….Domestic Dogs and Wolves "Dr. Pilot and co-authors examined DNA data from grey wolves (Canis lupus) to determine how much their gene pool was diluted with the DNA of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), and how widespread the process of hybridization is. Despite the evidence of hybridization among Eurasian grey wolves, the wolf populations have remained genetically distinct from dogs, suggesting that such cross-breeding does not diminish distinctiveness of the wolf gene pool if it occurs at low levels. The results could have important conservation implications for the grey wolf, which is a keystone species — meaning it is vital to the natural balance of the habitat it occupies. The legal status of hybrids is still uncertain and unregulated…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |
