The Fennoscandian wolverines have the lowest genetic diversity out of all the wolverine populations in the vast Eurasian continent. The new study covers the Eurasian range of the wolverine, which has not been studied on such a large scale before. Samples were collected across a wide geographical area from Norway to eastern Russia. The study, led by the University of Oulu, Finland, reveals significant insights into wolverine (Gulo gulo) population structure, genetic diversity, and demographic history across the Eurasian range. …. “Now we know the distribution of genetic diversity of the Eurasian wolverine. We know where it is the most diverse and where the least, which populations are well-connected, and which need reconnecting. The results of our study help us to specify how we should invest the management strategies in Fennoscandia,” concludes Dominika Bujnakova, a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Oulu.
