Abstract

The taxonomic status, origin and sib connections of various forms of the Altai grey wolf remain debatable. We had been developed and tested the technique of the microsatellite analysis which is one of the basic tools in phylogeography researches. 97 samples of grey wolf (Canis lupus) have been analyzed, extracted from the populations occupying flat steppe, foothill forest-steppe and mountain-taiga ecotopes of Altai Krai and Altai Republic. The microsatellite loci chosen as genetic markers have shown high efficiency. Forest-steppe populations of Altai grey wolf according to our data supported with references are a part of mountain-taiga populations Canis lupus altaicus.

Keywords

grey wolf, microsatellite markers, phylogeography.
