Genetic relationships of extant brown bears (Ursus arctos) and polar bears (Ursus maritimus).

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Cronin Matthew A, MacNeil Michael D

Abstract excerpt

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) and brown bears (Ursus arctos) are closely related species for which extensive mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenetic comparisons have been made. We used previously published genotype data for 8 microsatellite DNA loci from 930 brown bears in 19 populations and 473 polar bears in 16 populations to compare the population genetic relationships of extant populations of the species....
