Abstract excerpt
The ghost bat, Macroderma gigas, has undergone a major range contraction and is currently restricted around a few, highly disjunct maternity sites. The amount and distribution of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation within extant populations has been used to assess levels of current and historical maternal gene flow between these populations. An approximately 330 base pair fragment spanning a hypervariable area of...
