Diverse rates of gene flow and long-distance migration in two moose Alces alces subpopulations in Europe

摘要: We assessed migration rates and gene flow amongst 16 local demes six larger groups of moose identified by a previous microsatellite study across the entire European range species. The most important barrier to flow, Baltic Sea along with mountainous region in northern Fennoscandia, separates two genetically distinct subpopulations—the Scandinavian continental subpopulations—that originate from different glacial refugia. Our results showed that effectively migrated over long distances, but statistically significant was shorter (300–400 km) compared subpopulation (400–500 km). admixture were markedly lower Scandinavian, than part range. Weaker Scandinavia resulted major Mountains. In generally panmixed moose, demes—one NE Poland another Kirov Oblast, Russia slightly hampered exchange neighbouring demes, whereas one deme, Arkhangelsk region, Russia, appeared have very high into other demes. Different evolutionary demographic histories, population densities land topography (large rivers) could contributed low level barriers moose.
