Complete mitochondrial genome of endangered Arabian tahr ( and phylogenetic placement.

The Arabian tahr () endemic to mountains of northern Oman and the United Arab Emirates, however, the species is faced with significant threats to its population. Because of its small and dwindling population, it is listed as Endangered. Here, we sequenced and assembled the mitochondrial (mt) genome of into 16,485 bp with 39.

First evaluation of the population structure, genetic diversity and landscape connectivity of the Endangered Arabian tahr.

The Arabian tahr () occurs only in the mountains of northern Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The species is classified as Endangered due to its small declining population. In this study, we combined genetic and landscape ecology techniques in order to inform landscape scale conservation and genetic management of Arabian tahr.
