The Sicilian wolf: Genetic identity of a recently extinct insular population

2018-10-25

Abstract excerpt

During historical times many local grey wolf (Canis lupus) populations underwent a substantial reduction of their sizes or became extinct. Among these, the wolf population once living in Sicily, the biggest island of the Mediterranean Sea, was completely eradicated by human persecution in the early decades of the XX century. In order to understand the genetic identity of the Sicilian wolf, we applied ancient DNA...
