Table 5. Female effective population size (Nef) in the four Canis lupus lineages.
Wolf lineage | Nef | 95% CI |
C. l. lupus/familiaris | 105,000 | 73,000–148,000 |
C. l. pallipes | 6,500 | 1,200–32,000 |
C. l. chanco | 4,000 | 1,300–11,000 |
C. l. lupaster | 80,000 | 39,000–182,000 |
Confidence intervals (CI) were calculated from the percentage profile likelihoods in LAMARC (see Materials and Methods).
