structure clustering analysis of domestic and wild canids for the 44K SNP pruned data set (see Supplemental Table S2). Separate analyses of North American (n = 68) and Eurasian (n = 74) wolves further resolves biologically informative clusters (K = 7; the top layer in plot). The three captive Mexican wolf colonies (Studbook, S; Ghost Ranch, G; and Aragon, A) are shown. See discussion in the Supplemental Material for an explanation of how K values were chosen for presentation. Coyote abbreviations: Midwest/Southern, MID; Northeastern, NE; and Western, WEST.
