Mitochondrial DNA variation, phylogeography and population structure of the Asian elephant.

Heredity - 1 Mar 2000

Fernando P, Pfrender M E, Encalada S E, Lande R

Abstract excerpt

We report the first genetic analysis of free-ranging Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). We sampled 118 elephants from Sri Lanka, Bhutan/North India, and Laos/Vietnam by extracting DNA from dung, PCR amplifying and sequencing 630 nucleotides of mitochondrial DNA, including part of the variable left domain of the control region. Comparison with African elephant (Loxodonta africana) sequences indicated a relatively...
