Brief Overview:

Geneticists have examined both mtDNA and nuclear DNA of all three wolf species and some have proposed that the red wolf is not genetically distinct from either species. We explored the species concept and definition of hybrids. Can we use DNA sequence information to distinguish species? How does this relate to the Endangered Species Act?
