Abstract excerpt
We used the polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide sequencing to study mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic variability of brown bears (Ursus arctos) belonging to some western European populations. Demographic decline and isolation have apparently shaped genetic variability within and between populations. Small relict bear populations were apparently monomorphic and fixed for different mtDNA haplotypes. Genetic...
