Fig. 4: Schematic representation of breeder dispersal and pack dynamics during wolf recolonization in Germany from 2005 to 2015.

Shown are wolf territories where a newly established pair reproduced for the first time (grey circles) in the study area (divided into the federal states [grey lines]). Only breeders with known source pack are shown (females [orange arrows] and males [blue arrows]). Breeding partners with unknown source pack are indicated by a blue (male), an orange (female) or a pink (male and female) border around the respective territories, while breeders with missing genotype are indicated by a green border (one parent). The cyan border around DZ indicates the male with unknown source pack and the female with missing genotype. Wolf territories in which genotypes were missing for both breeders are not depicted.
