“…Based on the study of 97 individual wolves with 6 microsatellite markers, the taxonomic status of the forest-steppe and mountain-taiga wolves of Altai was clarified: the populations inhabiting various biotopes belong to the same subspecies C. lupus altaicus (Vorobyevskaya and Baldina, 2011).…”

“…In general, described genetic structure coincided with landscape zones. Talala et al (2020) broadened a geographical span of 2 above-described papers (Vorobyevskaya and Baldina, 2011;Bondarev et al, 2013) with samples from Yakutia Republic thus analyzing 270 individuals and 7 microsatellite loci. Relatively high genetic diversity of Siberian wolves was confirmed: He 0.60-0.71 and Na 4.50-5.83 with an average He and Na of 0.68 and 5.18, respectively.…”

This paper provides an overview of wolf research in Russia at the beginning of the 21st century. Wolf research covered various directions, including population density estimation, management methods and minimization of human-wildlife conflicts, general and behavioral ecology, behavior, wolf population genetics and morphology, paleontology, dog domestication, helminthology and the wolves’ role in the rabies transmission. Some studies are performed with state-of-art methodology using molecular genetics, mathematical modeling, camera traps, and GPS telemetry.

“…Nuclear data, however, show two reciprocally monophyletic wolf clades (Fan et al, 2016;Pilot et al, 2019;Sinding et al, 2018), with signs of intercontinental admixture between East Siberian and Alaskan populations (Sinding et al, 2018), consistent with their higher geographic proximity to the area of common origin. Whereas nuclear data have been extensively explored for North American populations, few genetic studies have focused on wolves from the Russian Far East (hereafter RFE; but see Talala et al, 2020 andVorobyevskaya &Baldina, 2011), limiting our understanding of demographic and phylogeographic patterns in this region. Similarly, inferences based on mitochondrial data by Loog et al (2020) did not include modern RFE samples.…”

Demography and evolutionary history of grey wolf populations around the Bering Strait

et al. 2022

Glacial and interglacial periods throughout the Pleistocene have been substantial drivers of change in species distributions. Earlier analyses suggested that modern grey wolves (Canis lupus) trace their origin to a single Late Pleistocene Beringian population that expanded east and westwards, starting c. 25,000 years ago (ya). Here, we examined the demographic and phylogeographic histories of extant populations around the Bering Strait with wolves from two inland regions of the Russian Far East (RFE) and one coastal and two inland regions of North‐western North America (NNA), genotyped for 91,327 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Our results indicated that RFE and NNA wolves had a common ancestry until c. 34,400 ya, suggesting that these populations started to diverge before the previously proposed expansion out of Beringia. Coastal and inland NNA populations diverged c. 16,000 ya, concordant with the minimum proposed date for the ecological viability of the migration route along the Pacific Northwest coast. Demographic reconstructions for inland RFE and NNA populations reveal spatial and temporal synchrony, with large historical effective population sizes that declined throughout the Pleistocene, possibly reflecting the influence of broadscale climatic changes across continents. In contrast, coastal NNA wolves displayed a consistently lower effective population size than the inland populations. Differences between the demographic history of inland and coastal wolves may have been driven by multiple ecological factors, including historical gene flow patterns, natural landscape fragmentation, and more recent anthropogenic disturbance.
