Article Synopsis
- The Asian tapir is classified as Endangered, highlighting the need for effective conservation efforts and genetic management.
- Researchers analyzed mitochondrial DNA sequences from 37 captive Asian tapirs in Thailand, identifying 11 distinct haplotypes through their genetic variations.
- Phylogenetic analysis revealed three genetic clades, providing insights that can aid in the conservation of both captive and wild populations to ensure their stability.
