We investigated nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial DNA control region to describe natural genetic variations and to assess the relationships between subpopulations of the brown bear Ursus arctos on Hokkaido Island, Japan. Using the polymerase chain reaction product-direct sequencing technique, partial sequences (about 930 bases) of the control region were determined for 56 brown bears sampled throughout...
