Rise and fall of a wolf population: genetic diversity and structure during recovery, rapid expansion and drastic decline.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2012

Jansson E, Ruokonen M, Kojola I, Aspi J

Abstract excerpt

The grey wolves (Canis lupus) of Finland have had a varied history, with a period of rapid population expansion after the mid-1990s followed by a decline with a current census size of about 140 wolves. Here, we investigate the impact of unstable population size and connectivity on genetic diversity and structure in a long-term genetic study of 298 Finnish wolves born in 1995-2009 and genotyped for 17...
