Mitochondrial DNA variation of the common hippopotamus: evidence for a recent population expansion.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2005

Okello J B A, Nyakaana S, Masembe C, Siegismund H R, Arctander P

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA control region sequence variation was obtained and the population history of the common hippopotamus was inferred from 109 individuals from 13 localities covering six populations in sub-Saharan Africa. In all, 100 haplotypes were defined, of which 98 were locality specific. A relatively low overall nucleotide diversity was observed (pi = 1.9%), as compared to other large mammals so far studied...
