Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversities based on the mtDNA control region were measured for both a wild population (n = 26) and a captive population (n = 18) of the black muntjac. In total, nine haplotypes were obtained from 44 samples. The wild population exhibited a low nucleotide diversity (pi = 0.00562), which suggests that the black muntjac had a small effective population size historically. In contrast to its low nucleotide...
