Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock

A multiple character analysis was undertaken of a broadly representative sample of three species:Canis lupus (wolf), C. latrans (coyote), and C. familiaris (dog). These species are clearly and significantly distinguished by the technique of linear discrimination. The analysis provides a basis for the identification of skulls not obviously distinguishable by size or other diagnostic characters.
