Appendix D
DNA Samples from Red Wolves
This table reports published DNA samples that have been extracted from putative red wolves (Canis rufus). The committee understands that unpublished sequences are held by managers of protected populations and by research groups who are actively studying canid populations. Sources include blood and tissue samples from living animals (“Wild/Managed”) and museum specimens (CM, Carnegie Museum; UMMZ, University of Michigan Museum of Zoology; USNM, United States National Museum of Natural History).-
