Genetic diversity and family groups detected in a coyote population with red wolf ancestry on Galveston Island, Texas

Abstract Background Hybridization can be a conservation concern if genomic introgression leads to the loss of an endangered species’ unique genome, or when hybrid offspring are sterile or less fit than their parental species. Yet hybridization can also be an adaptive management tool if rare populati...
