Journal ArticleDOI
A role for ecotones in generating rainforest biodiversity
TL;DR: Results suggest that natural selection may play an important role in generating rainforest biodiversity and that ecotone habitats may be a source of evolutionary novelty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular genetics of the most endangered canid: the Ethiopian wolf Canis simensis
Dada Gottelli,Claudio Sillero-Zubiri,G. D. Applebaum,Michael S. Roy,Derek J. Girman,Jaime García-Moreno,Elaine A. Ostrander,Robert K. Wayne,Robert K. Wayne +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that hybridization has occurred between female Ethiopian wolves and male domestic dogs in one population, and recommend immediate captive breeding of Ethiopian wolves to protect their gene pool from dilution and further loss of genetic variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Systematics of the Canidae
TL;DR: A combined analysis of the mtDNA data and published morphological data provides unexpected support for a monophyletic South American canidae clade, although the homogeneity partition tests indicate significant heterogeneity between the two data sets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation genetics of the endangered Isle Royale gray wolf
Robert K. Wayne,Niles Lehman,Derek J. Girman,Peter J. P. Gogan,Dennis A. Gilbert,Kimberly Hansen,Rolf O. Peterson,U.S. Seal,Andrew Eisenhawer,L. D. Mech,R.J. Krumenaker +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the issues of genetic variability and relationships of Isle Royale wolves using allozyme electrophoresis, mtDNA restriction-site analysis, and multilocus hypervariable minisatellite DNA analysis (genetic fingerprinting) were addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A morphologic and genetic study of the Island fox, Urocyon littoralis
Robert K. Wayne,Sarah B. George,Dennis A. Gilbert,Paul W. Collins,Steven D. Kovach,Derek J. Girman,Niles Lehman +6 more
TL;DR: The Island Fox, Urocyon littoralis, is a dwarf form found on six of the Channel Islands located 30–98 km off the coast of southern California, and genetic distances among the island populations, as estimated by the four techniques, are not well correlated.
