MSU scientist partnering on $2.1M grant to revive Red Wolf legacy
SUMMARY: A Mississippi State University researcher, Dana Morin, is investigating Gulf Coast coyotes to aid the conservation of red wolves. Funded by a $2.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, her study focuses on identifying red wolf genetic ancestry in local canids, which may hold genetic variation critical for future conservation efforts. Collaborating with researchers from various institutions, Morin’s team aims to assess the ecological factors promoting red wolf ancestry and develop tools for better conservation strategies. This project is one of ten funded under a new conservation initiative, impacting biodiversity and conservation practices.
