The Dingo DNA Results Came Back. Half the Experts Were Wrong.

I examine the genome results from 307 wild dogs across four states-and explain why they overturned long-held assumptions about pure dingoes, crossbreeding, and the tests used to define them. I was part of the old consensus, and I trace what the new evidence means for the science behind Australia’s wild-dog control programs. I explore: Why the pure dingo may not be disappearing from the bush How an unreliable test shaped the boundary between pure and crossbred What the findings mean for the verdict behind NSW’s poison-baiting ledger #Dingo #DNA #WildlifeScience #Conservation
