Rapid adaptive evolution of northeastern coyotes via hybridization with wolves.

Biology letters - 23 Feb 2010

Kays Roland, Curtis Abigail, Kirchman Jeremy J

Abstract excerpt

The dramatic expansion of the geographical range of coyotes over the last 90 years is partly explained by changes to the landscape and local extinctions of wolves, but hybridization may also have facilitated their movement. We present mtDNA sequence data from 686 eastern coyotes and measurements of 196 skulls related to their two-front colonization pattern. We find evidence for hybridization with Great Lakes...
