Book Synopsis The Secret World of Red Wolves by : T. DeLene Beeland
Download or read book The Secret World of Red Wolves written by T. DeLene Beeland and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red wolves are shy, elusive, and misunderstood predators. Until the 1800s, they were common in the longleaf pine savannas and deciduous forests of the southeastern United States. However, habitat degradation, persecution, and interbreeding with the coyote nearly annihilated them. Today, reintroduced red wolves are found only in peninsular northeastern North Carolina within less than 1 percent of their former range. In The Secret World of Red Wolves, nature writer T. DeLene Beeland shadows the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's pioneering recovery program over the course of a year to craft an intimate portrait of the red wolf, its history, and its restoration. Her engaging exploration of this top-level predator traces the intense effort of conservation personnel to save a species that has slipped to the verge of extinction. Beeland weaves together the voices of scientists, conservationists, and local landowners while posing larger questions about human coexistence with red wolves, our understanding of what defines this animal as a distinct species, and how climate change may swamp its current habitat.

Download or read book A Survey of the Red Wolf (Canis Rufus) written by Glynn A. Riley and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the red wolf's (Canis rufus) status, distribution and ecology; and describes and differentiates the red wolf from the closely related canids. Difficulties in distinguishing red wolves from coyotes (Canis latrans) and red wolf-coyote hybrids have resulted in much confusion over the range and status of the red wolf.

Book Synopsis Exploring Patterns and Mechanisms of Red Wolf (Canis Rufus) Hybridization in North Carolina by : Justin H. Bohling

This book was released on 2011 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybridization poses the greatest threat to the recovery of the critically endangered red wolf (Canis rufus ) in eastern North Carolina. Mitigating the impacts of hybridization requires understanding the scale at which this process occurs across the landscape. Such descriptions of hybridization also require an evaluation of the methods used to assess hybridization and mechanisms regulating this process. The goal of this dissertation was to discern landscape-level patterns of hybridization between red wolves and coyotes ( C. latrans ) and elucidate mechanisms governing interbreeding between these species. To describe the patterns of hybridization between these species, we used non-invasive genetic sampling to characterize the genetic profile of canids across the landscape. In 2008, we collected scat across a 22 000 km 2 region surrounding the Red Wolf Experimental Population Area (RWEPA) and used mitochondrial and nuclear microsatellite DNA data to identify individual canids and determine their ancestry (Chapter 1). From this survey we identified no pure red wolves and found little evidence of red wolf introgression into the coyote population. A similar follow-up survey conducted in 2010 confirmed that red wolves were restricted the RWEPA (Chapter 2). Coyotes were found to be widely distributed across the entire landscape; hybrids, however, were rare compared to the abundance of the parental species. For both surveys we utilized Bayesian clustering methods to estimate genetic ancestry for individuals identified through molecular genotyping. We tested the ability of these methods to detect genetic introgression under different scenarios using data from the red wolf pedigree (Chapter 3). We also examined characteristics of red wolves involved in known hybridization events within the RWEPA to illuminate potential mechanisms governing this process. Our review found that most of the red wolves that hybridized with coyotes did so following the disruption of a stable breeding pair of red wolves, often due to human-caused mortality (Chapter 4). Most hybrid litters occurred in the furthest west portion of the RWEPA and were produced by young, first-time breeding red wolves with mixed ancestry. Our findings provide valuable information regarding the patterns, process and detection of hybridization that can guide future management of this system.

This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Research Strategy to Examine the Taxonomy of the Red Wolf provides independent guidance about taxonomic research on the red wolf, Canis rufus. Building from the 2019 report Evaluating the Taxonomic Status of the Mexican Gray Wolf and the Red Wolf, this report reviews and ranks research applications to determine the taxonomy of wild canid populations in southern Louisiana and other relevant locations. The report then develops a research strategy to examine the evolutionary relationships between ancient red wolves, the extant managed red wolf populations, and the unidentified canid populations.

Book Synopsis A Report on the Taxonomic Status and Distribution of the Red Wolf by : John L. Paradiso
Download or read book A Report on the Taxonomic Status and Distribution of the Red Wolf written by John L. Paradiso and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparison of 213 skulls of Canis rufus with 214 C. lupus and 335 C. latrans indicate that the red wolf is a distinct species. Before human disruption of the environment, rufus, lups, and latrans maintained their distinct status, and available specimens show no evidence that the red wolf intergraded with either coyote or gray wolf. A series of 71 skulls shows a complete variation from typical rufus to typical latrans. Apparently modification and decline of the red wolf population led to the breakdown of isolation and the formation of a hybrid swarm that suggests possible interbreeding with the coyote. Specimens indicate that as red wolves were extirpated in eastern Texas and elsewhere, a hybrid swarm moved eastward to occupy the niche that was created. By 1969, the swarm spread throughout most of eastern Texas and moved into Louisiana. Pure red wolves continued to survive only in a limited area along the Gulf Coast from Brazoria Counties, Texas, and in Cameron Parish.

Book excerpt: The red wolf (Canis rufus) is a keystone species because of its important ecological role as a top predator. Its restoration to historic ranges may help to promote ecosystem integrity, balance, diversity and health. However, as already outlined in the 2007 United States Fish and Wildlife Service Red Wolf Recovery Progress Report, at least two additional reintroduction sites within the species' historic ranges are still required to support viable populations of red wolves. This thesis research aimed to contribute to the Red Wolf Species Survival Plan by identifying and evaluating potential sites within the Daniel Boone National Forest in eastern Kentucky for the reestablishment of red wolves. In previous wolf habitat prediction models, road density served as the criteria for suitability. Researchers calculated simple road densities; however, the logistic regression models thus derived did not accurately predict wolf occupation. Roads with higher traffic volumes and areas with greater road densities should, in theory, pose greater risks to wolf mortality, and simple road density may not be an adequate measure to such purpose. This research, therefore, ranked roads by mortality risk and utilized kernel density estimation in Geographic Information Systems as a means to weight the road density and to predict suitable wolf habitat. This method may provide a better picture of the spatial reality of road influence. By using the red wolf habitat suitability model based on the rank class and kernel density estimation, nine potential restoration sites were predicted; whereas the suitability model based only on the simple density function failed to predict any sites. However, the results of this research are not final. The human and coyote factors remain unknown, and validation of the model is impractical due to the lack of data and time constraints. Yet, efforts such as field verification have been made in an attempt to validate the model. If data are available, follow-up studies in North Carolina may be a feasible measure to further test the model.
