Warring brothers: The complex interactions between wolves (Canis lupus) and dogs (Canis familiaris) in a conservation context (2014, unknown): “Linguistically, we were biased towards English, French, Spanish and Scandinavian language publications, but we managed to include several sources from other languages such as Russian throughout our network of contacts.”
Genetics and conservation of wolves Canis lupus in Europe (2011, background): “Only one unique mtDNA haplotype occurred in the Italian wolves; two unique haplotypes were found in the Iberian Peninsula (Randi et al. 2000).”
Genetic consequences of a demographic bottleneck in the Scandinavian arctic fox (2006, background): “Changes in genetic structure over time Populations on peninsulas generally have lower genetic diversity than mainland populations (Crow and Kimura 1970, Vilá et al. 1999, Randi et al. 2000).”
Detecting rare introgression of domestic dog genes into wild wolf (Canis lupus) populations by Bayesian admixture analyses of microsatellite variation (2002, background): “submitted) and detected by DNA analyses (Randi et al. 2000) in Italy and elsewhere in Europe.”
Long‐distance wolf recolonization of France and Switzerland inferred from non‐invasive genetic sampling over a period of 10 years (2003, background): “As a consequence, Italian populations increased and recolonized northwards through the entire Apennine range (Boitani, 1992; Randi et al., 2000).”
