Geographic and genetic boundaries of brown bear (Ursus arctos) population in the Caucasus.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2010

Murtskhvaladze Marine, Gavashelishvili Alexander, Tarkhnishvili David

Abstract excerpt

The taxonomic status of brown bears in the Caucasus remains unclear. Several morphs or subspecies have been identified from the morphological (craniological) data, but the status of each of these subspecies has never been verified by molecular genetic methods. We analysed mitochondrial DNA sequences (control region) to reveal phylogenetic relationships and infer divergence time between brown bear subpopulations...
