Abstract excerpt

In the south-western United States and Mexico, mountain sheep were found to have low levels of mtDNA sequence divergence among haplotypes and low overall nucleotide diversity. Potential causes for this low diversity are discussed. Significant differences in mtDNA haplotype distributions over shor...
