“…However, an anoa from cross-breeding between captives was found 2n = 47 at the Leipzig zoo (Schreiber et al 1993). Scheurmann et al (1977) examined the number of mountain anoa chromosomes and obtained 2n = 45. Sugiri et al (1996) also obtained chromosome variant 2n = 44 from anoa on Nokilaki Mount, Central Sulawesi.…”

“…Some studies of anoa genetic variation have been published, but tends to focus on taxonomic issues in anoa. These taxonomy debate arose as a result of the diverse variation in the number of chromosomes found in anoa (38, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47, and 48) (Pranadewi 1998;Scheurmann et al 1977;Schreiber et al 1993Schreiber et al , 1999. MHC class II RFLPs were polymorphic as well, but there was also variation in anoa populations between two import lines.…”

Genetic Diversity of the Endangered Endemic Anoa (Bubalus spp): Implication for Conservation

et al. 2022

Anoa is an endemic ungulate in Sulawesi and its status now is endangered because the population continues to decline. Conservation genetics is one of the crucial issues in the anoa conservation strategy and action plan 2013-2022 document, but this genetic data is not yet available. To investigate and provide valuable information for conservation genetics measures, thirteen polymorphic microsatellites were used to analyze 20 adult anoa. Anoa has relatively low genetic diversity within populations (HO = 0.58), and high genetic differentiation among populations (FST = 0157). Although the anoa population has a bottleneck signal (T.P.M: 0.019; P0.05), the bottleneck simulation results show that the loss of genetic diversity is being slow over the next 100 years (9.5%). We provide some recommendations for conservation genetics based on the findings in this paper, including monitoring and genetically mapping for other anoa populations due to bottleneck signals, establishing the founder of the ex-situ population by examining their genetic diversity status, maintaining and increasing the number of individuals in the ex-situ population to genetically safe population size, and managing anoa populations by avoiding inbreeding. In-situ and ex-situ conservation programs should be combined to maintain the genetic diversity of anoa.
