The Diversity in the Genus Canis Challenges Conservation Biology: A Review of Available Data on Asian Wolves by Geraldine Werhahn, Geraldine Werhahn, Helen Senn, David W. Macdonald, David W. Macdonald, Claudio Sillero-Zubiri, Claudio Sillero-Zubiri, Claudio Sillero-Zubiri

“…This review aims to summarize the available data on contemporary Asian wolf lineages within the context of the larger phylogenetic Canis group and to work toward a taxonomy that is consistent within the Canidae. We found support for the presence and taxon eligibility of Holarctic gray, Himalayan/Tibetan, Indian, and Arabian wolves in Asia and recommend their recognition at the taxonomic levels consistent within the group.…”

Recolonizing gray wolves increase parasite infection risk in their prey by Ines Lesniak, Ilja Heckmann, Mathias Franz, Alex D. Greenwood, Emanuel Heitlinger, Heribert Hofer, Oliver Krone

“…The results of this study demonstrate that (1) predator–prey interactions influence parasite prevalence, if both predator and prey are part of the parasite life cycle, (2) mesopredators do not necessarily replace the apex predator in parasite transmission dynamics for particular parasites of which the apex predator is the definitive host, even if meso‐ and apex predators were from the same taxonomic family (here: Canidae, e.g., red foxes Vulpes vulpes), and (3) age‐dependent immune maturation contributes to the control of protozoan infection in wolves.…”
