Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Captive breeding programs play a vital role in conservation of threatened species, necessitating an understanding of genetic diversity among captive individuals to ensure long-term genetic viability, appropriate mate selection, and successful reintroduction to native habitats. METHODS AND RESULTS: We did not observe any recent genetic bottleneck, and population showed moderate genetic diversity. The...
