 | A Research Strategy to Examine the Taxonomy of the Red Wolf A Research Strategy to Examine the Taxonomy of the Red Wolf provides independent guidance about taxonomic research on the red wolf, Canis rufus . Building from the 2019 report Evaluating the Taxonomic Status of the Mexican Gray Wolf and the Red Wolf , this report reviews and ranks research applications to determine the taxonomy of wild canid populations in southern Louisiana and other relevant locations. The report then develops a research strategy to examine the evolutionary relationships between ancient red wolves, the extant managed red wolf populations, and the unidentified canid populations. |
