Genetic structure and gene flow among Komodo dragon populations inferred by microsatellite loci analysis.

Abstract excerpt

A general concern for the conservation of endangered species is the maintenance of genetic variation within populations, particularly when they become isolated and reduced in size. Estimates of gene flow and effective population size are therefore important for any conservation initiative directed to the long-term persistence of a species in its natural habitat. In the present study, 10 microsatellite loci were...
