Abstract excerpt
Grey wolves (Canis lupus) in Asia hold most of the species' genetic diversity and many endangered populations. However, a clear understanding of the evolutionary history of wolves in Asia is lacking, hindering their conservation. We used 98 whole genomes of wolves across Eurasia to better resolve their evolutionary history and conservation status. The strongest barriers to gene flow coincided with boundaries...
