Molecular genetics of the most endangered canid: the Ethiopian wolf Canis simensis
Dada Gottelli,Claudio Sillero-Zubiri,G. D. Applebaum,Michael S. Roy,Derek J. Girman,Jaime García-Moreno,Elaine A. Ostrander,Robert K. Wayne,Robert K. Wayne +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that hybridization has occurred between female Ethiopian wolves and male domestic dogs in one population, and recommend immediate captive breeding of Ethiopian wolves to protect their gene pool from dilution and further loss of genetic variability.

Genetic diversity and introgression in the Scottish wildcat.

TL;DR: It is argued that this is evidence that these cats do not have very recent domestic ancestry, but from the morphological data it is highly likely that this gene pool also contains a contribution from earlier introgression of domestic cat genes.

Male philopatry, extra-pack copulations and inbreeding avoidance in Ethiopian wolves ( Canis simensis )
TL;DR: The possibility that extra-pair copulations may be widespread in canid societies and that the monogamy supposedly fundamental to the family may be more sociological than genetic is raised.

The effect of the last glacial age on speciation and population genetic structure of the endangered Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis).
TL;DR: The timing of genetic divergence is addressed, and the pattern of mtDNA variation and geographical distribution indicate an initial population expansion, probably immediately after divergence from the wolf‐like ancestor, around 100 000 years ago.

The Ethiopian wolf – an endangered endemic canid
TL;DR: The Ethiopian wolf is a social canid endemic to the highlands of Ethiopia and it is threatened by further loss of habitat to high-altitude subsistence agriculture and overgrazing by livestock as mentioned in this paper.
