Strong anthropogenic impact has caused 28 of the currently recognized 55 species of deer (Cervidae) to be listed on the IUCN Red List. Particular threats to vulnerable species include habitat deterioration and hybridization with alien, introduced species. The scarcity of many species has severely hampered genetic analyses of their populations, including the detection of loci for cross-species amplification....
