Abstract “Conservation genomics” encompasses the idea that genome-scale data will
improve the capacity of resource managers to protect species. Although genetic approaches …

The grey wolf (C anis lupus) is an iconic large carnivore that has increasingly been
recognized as an apex predator with intrinsic value and a keystone species. However …

The grey wolf (Canis lupus) was the first species to give rise to a domestic population, and
they remained widespread throughout the last Ice Age when many other large mammal …

The observation that small isolated populations often suffer reduced fitness from inbreeding
depression has guided conservation theory and practice for decades. However …

The geographic distribution of coyotes (Canis latrans) has dramatically expanded since
1900, spreading across much of North America in a period when most other mammal …

The origin and evolution of the domestic dog remains a controversial question for the
scientific community, with basic aspects such as the place and date of origin, and the …

The origin of domestic dogs is poorly understood [1–15], with suggested evidence of dog-
like features in fossils that predate the Last Glacial Maximum [6, 9, 10, 14, 16] conflicting with …

Hybridization has long been considered a process that prevents divergence between
species. In contrast to this historical view, an increasing number of empirical studies claim to …

The genetic bases of demographic changes and artificial selection underlying domestication
are of great interest in evolutionary biology. Here we perform whole-genome sequencing of …

Gene flow among populations or species and incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) are two
evolutionary processes responsible for generating gene tree discordance and therefore …
