摘要: Genetic studies of the Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos) have so far focused on populations from Europe and North America, although largest distribution area bears is in Asia. In this study, we reveal population genetic parameters for inhabiting Grand Kackar Mountains (GKM) north east Turkey, western Lesser Caucasus. Using both hair (N = 147) tissue samples (N = 7) collected between 2008 2014, found substantial levels variation (10 microsatellite loci). Bear (hair) taken rubbing trees worked better genotyping than those power poles, regardless year collected. Genotyping also revealed that moved habitat patches, despite ongoing massive alterations creation large water reservoirs. This has potential to serve as a reserve future reintroductions Middle East. Due importance GKM on-going conservation actions, impacts region ought be minimized; e.g., by establishing green bridges or corridors over reservoirs major roads maintain connectivity gene flow among
