From Journal Abstract: We attempt to bridge the gap between field biology and molecular genetics by presenting databases and example cases pertaining to canid identification. We used 10 DNA microsatellite markers to develop a genetic exclusion test that successfully identified genes from non-native wolves and dogs approx. 90% of the time.
