Reproductive Isolation and Genetic Divergence in a Young "Species Flock" of Pupfishes (Cyprinodon sp.) from San Salvador Island, Bahamas
… the normal morph. In Chapter 1, I sequenced the mtDNA control region and used haplotype frequency analyses to assess the level of differentiation between sympatric normals and bulldogs sampled from Osprey Lake and Little Lake on San Salvador Island. The bozo morph was too rare to include in the …

The Application of Molecular Genetics to the Conservation Management of Quolls, Dasyurus Species (Dasyuridae:Marsupialia)
… carnivorous marsupials in the Australasian region, and thus occupy an important ecological niche as top predators and scavengers. All quolls are currently in decline and threatened to some degree yet the application of molecular information to the conservation and management of quolls has …

Mitochondrial DNA Control Region Sequence Polymorphisms from a South Indian Population Sample: A Forensic and Phylogenetic View
… The aim of this study was to establish a mtDNA dataset for the state of Tamil Nadu, India for forensic purposes and to investigate the diversity of the Tamil Nadu population sample with respect to global populations. The hypervariable regions I, II, and III within the mtDNA control region …

Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Largetooth Sawfish, Pristis pristis, Populations Over the 20th Century
… 386-bp, 141-bp) in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region were PCR-amplified. At each fragment, significant genetic structure was found in <em>P. pristis </em>overall (Φ<sub>ST</sub>=0.946, N=9; 0.813, N=54; 0.771, N=99). The Indo-West Pacific and Atlantic/Eastern Pacific each harbor …

DEVELOPMENT OF FECAL DNA SAMPLING METHODS TO ASSESS GENETIC POPULATION STRUCTURE OF GREATER YELLOWSTONE BISON
… 4%. I PCR amplified a 470 bp mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fragment for sequencing, and successfully identified haplotypes for120 individuals. The error rate for mtDNA sequencing was 0.0005 nucleotide mis-incorporations across all samples. Sequencing and RFLP analysis of mtDNA control region from 179 …

Genetic admixture of Kruger National Park black rhino (Diceros bicornis minor): conservation implications
… proportion of original founders. Analysis of the mtDNA control region revealed four haplotypes, with moderate haplotype and nucleotide diversity (h=0.48 (± 0.05 SD); π= 0.29%). Data from 13 microsatellite loci revealed moderate to high levels of genetic variation (number of alleles = 4.92 ± 0.90, …

Assessment of the Endangered Species <i>Podarcis carbonelli</i> on a Microgeographic Scale: A Molecular, Morphological and Physiological Approach
… approach. We sequenced the 12S RNA, the mtDNA Control Region and the 7th intron of the !-fibrinogen gene and determined genetic diversity values as well as several parameters of population structure and differentiation. Individuals from these populations were also measured for several …

Genetic diversity and hybridisation estimates of Arctocephalus tropicalis and A. gazella from Marion Island
In this study, hypervariable region I (HVRI) of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region, and five microsatellite loci were used to assess genetic variability and the extent of hybridization between the two fur seals (Arctocephalus tropicalis and A. gazella), that occur on Sub-Antarctic Marion …

Incipient Speciation in Freshwater Fish Species from Two Isolated Watersheds
… populations of fish from both rivers. Using mtDNA control region for the Blacknose Dace and the White Sucker and cytochrome b gene for the Tessellated Darter, a similar pattern of divergence was observed between the populations from the Bronx and Saw Mill Rivers. Each fish species had …

Population genetics of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus)
… 648 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial control region and developed 14 microsatellite markers. Queensland koala samples (N = 27) were collected from various United States zoos and are designated here as Queensland (zoo). Samples from wild koalas were collected from different localities …

Potential of faeces for non-invasive assessment of Juan Fernandez fur seals and their environment
… samples. For this optimisation, I targeted the mtDNA control region, five different microsatellite loci and two loci commonly targeted for molecular sex identification. Swabbing the faecal surface was usually associated with less specific PCR products. However, by performing nested PCRs, the …

Population structure and genetic variation in Hector’s dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori)
… the presence of four genetically isolated regional populations, North Island (n = 29), East Coast South Island (n = 110), West Coast South Island (n = 122) and South Coast South Island (n = 19). Significant levels of genetic differentiation were not detected within local sub-populations of …

Population genetics of the cichlid, Cynotilapia afra (Günther 1894), in its native and introduced ranges in Lake Malawi
… Sequence variation in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region was analysed using 15 individuals per sample population and 60 individuals per sample population were genotyped at six microsatellite loci. These data were analysed to test the three hypotheses and identify potential source …
