Extremely low genetic diversity in the endangered Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi).

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Schultz Jennifer K, Baker Jason D, Toonen Robert J, Bowen Brian W

Abstract excerpt

Hunted to near extinction in the late 19th century, the endangered and endemic Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi) exhibits low variation at all molecular markers tested to date. Here we confirm extreme paucity of genetic diversity, finding polymorphisms at only 8 of 154 microsatellite loci tested (143 novel species-specific loci, 10 loci from Antarctic seals, and 1 previously characterized locus). This...
