“…All the samples were obtained directly from licensed hunters. The samples included both new material (442 specimens) and individuals already analyzed in previous studies (Modorov et al, 2020; Monakhov et al, 2021).…”

“…The Euclidean distances were used to infer morphological similarity in package ecodist v. 2.0.5 based on data on the proportion of light pelts (%) and condylobasal skull length (mm). The morphological data were retrieved from the publications of Monakhov (1995, ) and Monakhov et al (2021) for populations from the same geographic locations (Appendix ). Additionally, the Mantel test and Mantel correlograms were used to test for potential autocorrelation in genetic and morphological distances between predefined sable populations.…”

“…Analyses of microsatellite loci of sables from Kamchatka Krai and Primorsky Krai (the eastern regions of the sable range) as well as from the Northern Ural (the western limit of the range), Krasnoyarsk Krai, and Irkutsk Oblast (Central Siberia) uncovered genetic differences among populations from different parts of the species’ range (Kashtanov, Svischeva, Pishchulina, et al, 2015; Kashtanov, Svishcheva, Kolobkov, et al, 2015), and the authors noted that the population characteristics of sables persisted in the various geographic regions despite migration and relocations. In addition, other genetically differentiated sable populations were described for the Baikal region (Monakhov et al, 2021).…”

“…In the present study, we aimed to clarify the population genetic structure of the sable in the western portion of the species' range by means of microsatellite loci. These genetic markers have allowed us to successfully discriminate between sable populations inhabiting Western Siberia and the Baikal region by geographic location in our previous research (Modorov et al, 2020;Monakhov et al, 2021).…”

Morphological variation and active migration of sables (Martes zibellina Linnaeus, 1758) cause confusion in this species’ intraspecific taxonomy. Four to 17 subspecies have been described thus far. In this study, we clarified sable population structure using 11 microsatellite loci in 665 specimens from 33 sable populations. According to subspecies taxonomy, we expect to find four genetic groups. Our results confirmed the presence of two genetic groups in the territories of Western Siberia (subspecies Martes zibellina zibellina Linnaeus, 1758) and the Western Altai Mountains (subspecies Martes zibellina averini Bashanov, 1943). Another genetic group is formed by the populations of the Central Siberian Plateau and presumably represents the subspecies Martes zibellina yeniseensis Ognev, 1925. Previous descriptions of the area occupied by this subspecies include the mountain regions of Southern Siberia. We found a few genetic groups in the Baikal region, whereas only one subspecies Martes zibellina princeps Birula, 1918 had been described previously.

“…Using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test (testing for a population bottleneck), we identified a significant heterozygote excess in Fennoscandia and Central Siberia (Table S1.17), which indicates recent bottlenecks in these groups. (Kashtanov et al, 2015;Monakhov et al, 2021;Ranyuk et al, 2021). On the other hand, grey wolf populations appeared to be more structured than those of the wolverine, particularly in Siberia, where at least three genetic clusters have been identified (Talala et al, 2020).…”

AimOur aim was to assess the population structure, genetic diversity and demographic history of the wolverine (Gulo gulo) throughout its entire Eurasian range. Additionally, we aimed to contextualize and put into perspective the state of the endangered Fennoscandian population by emphasizing its connectivity to other populations.LocationThe main study area covered most of the Eurasian wolverine range, with samples from Finland, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.MethodsUsing a 495 bp fragment of the mitochondrial DNA control region and a frequently used set of 14 microsatellite markers on an extensive dataset of samples, we assessed the population structure, genetic diversity, and demographic history of wolverines with a variety of population genetic analyses.ResultsAccording to both nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers, Eurasian wolverines exhibit substructure, with the most distinct population located in Fennoscandia. The Fennoscandian population has undergone a genetic bottleneck, likely influencing its genetic diversity, which is notably the lowest in Eurasia. Genetic diversity in the rest of Eurasia gradually rises towards the central part of the range and decreases again in the east, although not as significantly as in the west.Main ConclusionsThis study reveals the population structure of wolverines across Eurasia and provides direction for allocating conservation efforts to sustain a diverse and connected wolverine population. While most of the Eurasian populations seem to be well‐connected and genetically diverse, the Fennoscandian wolverines may need better connectivity to the other Eurasian populations to ensure gene flow and long‐term persistence. Our study further highlights the importance of considering the population genetic structure and diversity of the entire species range when planning management strategies.
