Interspecific Gene Flow Shaped the Evolution of the Genus Canis
The evolutionary history of the wolf-like canids of the genus Canis has been heavily debated, especially regarding the number of distinct species and their relationships at the population and species level [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. We assembled a dataset of 48 resequenced genomes spanning all members of t...

The evolutionary history of the wolf-like canids of the genus Canis has been heavily debated, especially regarding the number of distinct species and their relationships at the population and species level [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
