Abstract excerpt
India harbours two ecologically and evolutionarily significant canids: the dhole and wolf. Both species are increasingly threatened by habitat fragmentation, declining prey availability, and anthropogenic pressures. Despite their conservation importance, the complete mitochondrial genome structure and organization of the Indian dhole and wolf have remained unreported. In this study, we characterized the structure...
