The Ethiopian wolf has survived numerous climatic changes in its Ethiopian highland habitat, with its range repeatedly expanding and contracting with glacial cycles. [ 1 ] In 1994, a mitochondrial DNA analysis showed a closer relationship to the gray wolf and the coyote than to other African canids, and C. simensis may be an evolutionary relic ...

The Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) is a canine native to the Ethiopian Highlands. In southeastern Ethiopia, it is also known as the Horse jackal. Unlike most large canids, which are widespread, generalist feeders, the Ethiopian wolf is a highly specialized feeder of …

2022年8月1日 · The Ethiopian wolf, endemic to Ethiopia, is the most endangered species in the world. As flagship species, a wide range of studies has been conducted on the Ethiopian wolf. However, there is scanty information about the impact …

2024年11月22日 · According to fossil research, the Ethiopian wolf first appeared in Africa between 1.6 and 1.4 million years ago. Through many periods of severe climate change, they have maintained their existence thanks to their ability to adapt. However, that stability is now threatened by factors created by humans.

2022年1月1日 · Ethiopian wolf is largely governed by mean annual temperature, eleva- tion, annual precipitation, isothermality, precipitation seasonality, and precipitation of the driest month.

The Ethiopian wolf, pictured here, is one of the world's most endangered canid species, with fewer than 500 individuals remaining in six Afroalpine areas. This critically endangered species faces significant threats, including habitat loss, human encroachment, and climate change, making conservation efforts crucial for its survival.

2023年11月13日 · Specifically, we aimed to: (1) assess whether the Ethiopian wolf can serve as a flagship species for the conservation of Afroalpine habitats in Ethiopia; (2) identify the other threatened and/or endemic species that are sympatric with the Ethiopian wolf; and (3) map the protected area status of Ethiopian wolf sites that might help in the ...

ABSTRACT: The habitat of the endemic and endangered Ethiopian wolf and populations have been declining because of climate change, coupled with various anthropogenic disturbances, which has...

2022年5月3日 · An endangered Ethiopian wolf has been declining because of climate change coupled with various anthropogenic disturbances, resulted in restricted geographic distribution.

2022年8月13日 · The result depicted that suitable habitats for Ethiopian wolves will be badly affected by climate change. Currently, about 9.4% of the total landmass of Ethiopia is suitable for wolves. However, it will be lost in the forthcoming couple of …
