Data from: North-south differentiation and a region of high diversity in European wolves (Canis lupus)
European wolves (Canis lupus) show population genetic structure in the absence of geographic barriers, and across relatively short distances for this highly mobile species. Additional information on the location of and divergence between population clusters is required, particularly because wolves a...
