Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the genetic diversity of Griffon Vultures (Gyps fulvus) from two South - East European, and seven Mediterranean countries and islands, including Spain, which hosts the largest European population. Our sample, comprising 249 newly generated plus 92 public D-loop sequences, is the largest dataset so far analyzed for this species. We identified 14 novel haplotypes, with Hpt-A being...
