Evolutionary history of wolves in southern regions of Asia

Gray wolves (Canis lupus) in Asia encompass most of the species' global genetic diversity and many endangered populations. However, a clear understanding of the evolutionary history of wolves from many parts of Asia, especially southern regions, is lacking. To address these gaps, we used 98 whole genomes of wolves sampled across Eurasia to investigate phylogenetic and gene flow histories across the genome, and to characterize their genetic diversity and demographic history.
