摘要: Background: The endemic Italian roe deer (Capreolus c. italicus) is threatened by introgressive hybridization with the introduced and expanding European subspecies Capreolus capreolus. Population genetic surveys show that some populations in central Italy are not yet admixed subspecies. Question: Is it possible to identify map distributions of native populations? Methods: We obtained analysed diagnostic mitochondrial DNA control-region sequences individual genotypes at 11 autosomal microsatellite loci 1051 samples collected from entire distribution reference deer. used classical Bayesian statistical approaches describe substructure Italy. admixture analyses landscape tools fine-scale locate their zones. Results: A very few fragmented patches do survive Although these seriously deer, they can be genetically identified and, means translocations, saved extinction. Discussion: TO FOLLOW - 4 LINES ALLOWED.
