... Attaining this goal will require a better understanding of the genetic ancestry of all relevant canids in the extant red wolf and GCC populations and of the phylogenetic relationships among these canids and the other North American canids to which they are related. The data needed include genomic data, morphological data, and behavioral data, along with informative ecological data.

... For another, one of the limitations of existing genetic data is that most of them are from the western edge of the species range, where historically the range of red wolves abutted that of coyotes. Data from specimens collected in the southeastern United States would provide a clearer characterization of the historical red wolf.

... All data collected for this research effort should be publicly available to ensure their maximum utility and to engage diverse researchers to become involved in answering the questions. The data that should be made publicly available include the raw data, not simply summary statistics or final products of statistical analysis.
