Geographic mitochondrial DNA variation in the rock hyrax, Procavia capensis.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 1992

Prinsloo P, Robinson T J

Abstract excerpt

Restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were used to evaluate geographic population genetic structure in the rock hyrax, Procavia capensis, a species which occurs widely, though restricted to rocky habitat, throughout South Africa. Ten restriction endonucleases were...
