| 2 | The geographical distribution of grey wolves (Canis lupus) in China:a systematic review显示文摘The grey wolf(Canis lupus) is one of the most widely distributed terrestrial mammals,and its distribution and ecology in Europe and North America are largely well described.However,the distribution of grey wolves in southern China is still highly controversial.Several well-known western literatures stated that there were no grey wolves in southern China,while the presence of grey wolves across China has been indicated in A Guide to the Mammals of China,published by Princeton University Press.It is essential to solve this discrepancy since dogs may have originated from grey wolves in southern China.Therefore,we systematically investigated Chinese literatures about wild animal surveys and identified more than 100 articles and books that included information of the distribution of grey wolves in China.We also surveyed the collections of three Chinese natural museums and found 26 grey wolf skins specimens collected across China.Moreover,we investigated the fossil records in China and identified 25 archaeological sites with wolf remains including south China.In conclusion,with the comprehensive summary of Chinese literatures,museum specimens and fossil records,we demonstrate that grey wolves do distribute across all parts of the Chinese mainland,including the most southern parts. | Lu WANG Ya-Ping MA Qi-Jun ZHOU Ya-Ping ZHANG Peter SAVOLAINEN Guo-Dong WANG | 2016 | Zoological Research2016，37，6： | 2 |
| 6 | Canine transmissible venereal tumor genome reveals ancient introgression from coyotes to pre-contact dogs in North America显示文摘Dear Editor, Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT), the oldest known somatic cell line, is a living fossil of the original founder, transmitted from host’s cancer cells to other canids during the mating process.1 Since it was shown ten years ago that living cells from an ancient host could be transmitted among canids, the origin of CTVT has been studied continuously.2 Recent comparison of the CTVT genetic data with a more comprehensive canine reference panel including pre-contact dogs (PCDs) from North America argued that the CTVT founder (the original canid infected with CTVT) is the closest detectable lineage to PCDs, and that this clade underwent introgression from wild canids in North America. | Xuan Wang Bo-Wen Zhou Melinda A.
