Preliminary evidence suggests that these wild canines, originally thought to be coyotes, may at a minimum carry some red wolf alleles or, at a maximum, may be overlooked populations of wild red wolves. Genetic analyses of two deceased canines on Galveston Island, Texas, revealed shared alleles with the captive breeding red wolf population in North Carolina and also some genetic variation that is distinct from any known wild North American canine (Heppenheimer et al., 2018)

The selected research team will have the opportunity to justify grant extensions should sampling or data analyses prove insufficient to confirm the identity of the canids in southwestern Louisiana within 8 to 12 months.

Applications will be ranked based on the scientific merit of the proposed research and evidence of the ability of the research team to successfully carry out the proposed studies. FWS will select one team to submit a full proposal, taking into consideration the National Academies' recommendations and internal agency factors.
