#ResearchTuesday. This cool research is looking at "Ghost genes" in coyotes that could be useful for recovering red wolves and addressing the inherent genetic bottleneck that happens with highly endangered species. https://t.co/o8iYJAlDVZ and the paper:…

‘Ghost’ DNA from the world’s rarest wolves lingers in coyotes Coyotes in isolated Louisiana swamps are found to harbour genetic material from the critically endangered red wolf. https://t.co/goRmfbrfPB https://t.co/58u2H1F0KU https://t.co/00LX4n3RPk

Coyote populations in southwestern Louisiana that historically mated with red wolves carry diverse “ghost alleles” that could help bring the wolves back from the brink of extinction. https://t.co/a9Hg9zcG5M https://t.co/0CTS5MTEj5
