AI Article Synopsis
- The genetic diversity of Xinjiang Tarim red deer populations was assessed using microsatellite allele frequencies from samples collected in Xaya, Lopnur, and Qarqan.
- Despite examining 10 microsatellite loci, significant genetic variation was only found in 3 loci, showing low levels of heterozygosity across populations (0.08 for Xaya, 0 for Lopnur, and 0.17 for Qarqan).
- The findings indicate that a bottleneck effect has likely impacted the genetic diversity of these isolated deer populations.
Article Abstract
To evaluate the genetic diversity of the Xinjiang Tarim red deer (Cervus elaphus yarkandensis) population, we analyzed the frequencies of microsatellite alleles. Samples were collected from 3 isolated populations in Xaya, Lopnur and Qarqan of Xinjiang. Although 10 microsatellite loci were examined, alleles of 133 to 190 base-pairs were detected for only 3 loci: BM5004, BM4208 and BM888. The average observed multilocus heterozygosity was 0.08 +/- 0.04 for the Xaya, 0 for the Lopnur, and 0.17 +/- 0.08 for the Qarqan population. The average heterozygosity of all populations was 0.08 +/- 0.02. The observed heterozygosities were significantly lower than the expected values. The present results suggest that the bottleneck effect has occurred in the populations of the Xinjiang Tarim red deer.
