The gray wolf and the residents of our forests. After two world wars, the population naturally complement the arrival of immigrants from Ukraine and Poland. Genetic analysis can determine the origin of gray wolves in comparison with other populations and to determine the current status of the population in terms of genetic diversity. Used the 15 microsatellites markers published, are processed 86 samples from Slovakia, 63 historical (1958-1988), 36 from Bosnia and Herzegovina, 20 from Ukraine and 57 from Russian. By comparing genetic data from the past a present showed that the Slovak population have identical genetic structure. The difference is found only in relation to the geographic location of samples Eastern Slovakia (NE, E, SE) is genetically different from the rest of territory. In comparison with other countries has shown that most individuals are assigned to the cluster with Russian except central Slovakia. In Slovakia, we have migrants from the east or south (through the Carpathians), which constantly enrich Slovak population. This publication is the result of the project implementation: Extension of the centre of Excellence Adaptive Forest Ecosystems, ITMS: 26220120049, supported by the Research et Development Operational Programme funded by the ERDF.
