摘要: The edible dormouse (Glis glis) from Stolowe Mountains National Park (south-western Poland) was studied to reveal the genetic diversity of dormice living in Polish Sudetes. Material (hair with roots) collected 39 individuals (adults and juveniles) used for testing perform population analyses. Molecular study involved two types markers: nuclear DNA (11 microsatellite sequences) mitochondrial (fragment cytochrome b approximately 700 bp length). Low variability found. Two loci proved be completely monomorphic, whereas degree polymorphism other microsatellites also unexpectedly low. Only haplotypes were found among all individuals. Sudetes, determined by genotyping molecular markers, may consequence fragmentation this species’ population. Dormouse sites Poland have been declining decades due deforestation old forests. Therefore, live small populations isolated habitats increasing levels homozygosity. Other possible causes low G. glis are discussed as well.
