Fig. 1. Autosomal D statistic values for coyote introgression into North American wolf-like canids.
The allopatric gray wolf from Iran is used as a baseline for comparison because of the genome’s complete lack of coyote introgression. Consistent with a two-lineage model but contrary to a three-lineage model, the California coyote and the Quebec canid produce nearly equal D statistic values.
