Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous phylogenetic analyses of African elephants have included limited numbers of forest elephant samples. A large-scale assessment of mitochondrial DNA diversity in forest elephant populations here reveals a more complex evolutionary history in African elephants as a whole than two-taxon models assume. RESULTS: We analysed hypervariable region 1 of the mitochondrial control region for 71 new...
