Quoting Blake Maybank <bmaybank@gmail.com>:
> Time to consider reintroducing wolves to Nova Scotia.
* two questions: how hybridized with Coyotes do you suppose the
descendents of a small introduced population would be after a few
generations? ...and how ecologically different from Eastern Wolves are
the current Coyote populations?
We know from the Russian domestication of Foxes that Canids are as
quickly modified by selection as the breeding of Domestic Dogs
suggests - so I'd wonder if Wolves can be introduced into eastern
Canada, since the current Coyote populations, with their infusion of
Eastern Wolf genes, are presumably in equilibrium with the available
prey.
