Comment on “Whole-genome sequence analysis shows two endemic species of North American wolf are admixtures of the coyote and gray wolf”
Whole-genome data do not support a recent hybrid origin for red and eastern wolves.
متن کاملY-chromosome evidence supports widespread signatures of three-species Canis hybridization in eastern North America
There has been considerable discussion on the origin of the red wolf and eastern wolf and their evolution independent of the gray wolf. We analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and a Y-chromosome intron sequence in combination with Y-chromosome microsatellites from wolves and coyotes within the range of extensive wolf-coyote hybridization, that is, eastern North America. The detection of divergent...
متن کاملIntrogression of Coyote Mitochondrial Dna into Sympatric North American Gray Wolf Populations.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genotypes of gray wolves and coyotes from localities throughout North America were determined using restriction fragment length polymorphisms. Of the 13 genotypes found among the wolves, 7 are clearly of coyote origin, indicating that genetic transfer of coyote mtDNA into wolf populations has occurred through hybridization. The transfer of mtDNA appears unidirectional ...
متن کاملAn Improved Bat Algorithm with Grey Wolf Optimizer for Solving Continuous Optimization Problems
Metaheuristic algorithms are used to solve NP-hard optimization problems. These algorithms have two main components, i.e. exploration and exploitation, and try to strike a balance between exploration and exploitation to achieve the best possible near-optimal solution. The bat algorithm is one of the metaheuristic algorithms with poor exploration and exploitation. In this paper, exploration and ...
متن کاملUse of gray wolf algorithm to optimize gas microturbineUse of gray wolf algorithm to optimize gas microturbine
In this research, optimization of gas microturbine through economic, exergy and environmental analysis has been investigated by the gray wolf algorithm. First, a thermodynamic modeling was performed for each of the above modes, and then using the gray wolf method, optimum points were determined for each systemchr('39')s performance. For modeling, the code written in MATLAB software was used. ...
