Let's talk about an (ongoing) research on European wolves. How will climate change affect them? How can we reduce the human impact on them? The best way to see this is looking at their (demographic) history. Come by P02.083 today between 17.00-19.00 to talk! #ESEB2025

Our paper is out! We discovered an introgression from dogs into Iberian wolves (IBGW) that may influence key behavioral genes. Hypotheses:
1. Dogs arrived ca. 17-12kyr ago to Iberia. Did they mix?
2. Wolves suffered a bottleneck in 1970s. Did they mix?
3. Local adaptations?
