Table 1.

Number of simulated genotypes for various scenarios of red wolf–coyote hybridization. Each scenario was designed to produce an overall ancestry value that matched the studywide observed red wolf ancestry of 26.3%. The scenarios are based on Fredrickson and Hedrick (2006) after 20 years of secondary contact. Genotypes were simulated using HybridLab

Scenario	Hybrid proportion	Number of simulated genotypes
		Red wolves	Coyotes	F1	F2	F1xRW backcross	F1xCoy backcross
Random mating	0.386	44	192	19	18	19	19
Assortative mating	0.276	54	202	14	14	14	14
Red wolf challenges	0.189	62	209	10	10	10	10
Spatial mixinga	0	82	229	0	0	0	0

^aThe spatial mixing scenario was not part of Fredrickson and Hedrick's study.
