It's not like I didn't post a link to the full article or anything.

Quote:Even if selection is favouring the wolves that are genetically diverse, genetic variation will inevitably be lost over time in such a small population as this one. But it will take much longer than previously thought.
If we go back to my previous question

That would seem to agree with the point I was making does it not?
Further more the coefficient of inbreeding among this population of wolves is extremely high with an average of .25 which is the equivalent of mating siblings.

I’ve owned several purebred dogs (German Shorthaird Pointers, all). One had regularly occurring seizures until she was fixed (seemed to be a severe hormonal imbalance). A couple others had frequent UTIs. These were not animals that would’ve been able to survive in the wild, domestication or not.
