The catadromous Platyeriocheir formosa is a crab endemic in Taiwan. To conserve P. formosa population diversity and ensure the sustainable use of this natural resource, we have developed new genetic markers, 17 polymorphic microsatellite loci, to promote the study of its population genetics in the future. In this study, more than 70 microsatellite sequences were found. Among these, 18 loci were...

This study was conducted to collect comprehensive identification about Markhoz goat population and to simulate past dynamics of the population under its living conditions.Census data of the population size and the required parametersfor the simulation modelwere obtained frompublished data or were collected in its habitat in the last 3 years. In this study, past population dynamics and expected ...

nuclear markers such as microsatellites have allowed the identification of conservation and management populations of the hawksbill turtles. in present study, eight microsatellite loci were studied. 60 samples of hawksbill turtles. flipper from shidvar and hormuz islands have been surgically removed and preserved in 20% dmso buffer. dna was extracted using dnp kit and amplified by pcr methods. ...

'Good-genes' models of sexual selection predict significant additive genetic variation for fitness-correlated traits within populations to be revealed by phenotypic traits. To test this prediction, we sampled brown trout (Salmo trutta) from their natural spawning place, analysed their carotenoid-based red and melanin-based dark skin colours and tested whether these colours can be used to predic...

The aim of this licentiate thesis was to study the population genetic structure of the wood-decay fungus Phlebia centrifuga P. Karst. in northern Europe. The fungus, which is red-listed in Sweden, is dependent on dead wood of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and therefore rare in managed forest stands. The isolates used in the studies included in this licentiate thesis were sampled from both continu...

The maintenance of the endangered Caspian brown trout Salmo trutta caspius populations in Iran depends on its artificial breeding. There is no information on how current hatchery breeding protocol influences effective population size of breeders (Ne), which is a critical parameter to maintain genetic diversity in future generations. The current hatchery protocol (CHP) was comparatively evaluate...
