Molecular population genetics of the red kangaroo (Macropus rufus): mtDNA variation.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 1998

Clegg S M, Hale P, Moritz C

Abstract excerpt

The genetic population structure of a large, wide-ranging marsupial, the red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) was assessed using sequence and haplotype frequency data of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from locations across the species range in Australia. Results from sequence data revealed extensive haplotyp...
