Population genetics of the springbok Antidorcas marsupialis - a preliminary study

Genetic microstructure in two spanish cat populations. I. Genic diversity, gene flow and selection.

“…Nevertheless, the majority of genic diversity was contained within the smallest sample population structures. The observed differentiation in these cat populations was much smaller than that observed for other mammals (Massey and Joule, 1981;Patton and Feder, 1981;Chesser, 1983;Chesser et al, 1982;Navajas y Navarro and Britton-Davidian, 1989;Hartl et al, 1990Hartl et al, , 1991Daley, 1992;Bigalke et al, 1993;Preleuthner and Pinsker, 1993;Lorenzini et al, 1993;Corbet and Robinson, 1991;Corbet et al, 1994). From our results, the smallest sampling unit of population structure contained 95% of the total genetic variation.…”

Genetic structure of different populations of domestic cat in Spain, Italy and Argentina at a micro-geographic level

“…The genetic differentiation observed at colony and subpopulation sample levels was very small to be compared to the one found in other mammalian species (Daly and Patton 1990, Wayne et al 1991, Bigalke et al 1993, Lorenzini et al 1993, Preleuthner and Pinsker 1993, Georgiadis et al 1994. This indicated that apart from the existence of differentiated parameters between these populations, other variables are constant.…”

Further studies on the population genetics of the blesbok Damaliscus dorcas phillipsi

“…Population genetic studies of African Bovidae are still scarce and there is no reference system of genetic diversity within and among populations, subspecies and species comparable to that available for Cervidae (Bigalke et al 1993). The [157] present study seeks to contribute to knowledge of biochemical-genetic variation in antelope and to expand on the information derived from a single population of blesbok reported by Bigalke et al (1993).…”

“…Variation of genetic diversity within and between them is thus of particular interest. The population previously studied by Bigalke et al (1993) appeared to have lost a grat deal of biochemical-genetic variation and was also characterised by small body size and low levels of copper and zinc. Further studies were indicated to try to separate genetic and environmental effects.…”
