Wolf Body Mass, Skull Morphology, and Mitochondrial DNA Haplotypes in the Riding Mountain National Park Region of Manitoba, Canada
Two types of wolves, gray (Canis lupus L., 1758) and eastern (Canis lupus lycaon Schreber, 1775 or Canis lycaon) or Great Lakes wolves, representing Old World (OW) and New World (NW) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes, have been reported in eastern Canada and the Great Lakes region. Both haplotype...
