Habitat fragmentation and genetic diversity in natural populations of the Bornean elephant: Implications for conservation

2016-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The Bornean elephant population in Sabah, with only 2000 individuals, is currently mainly restricted to a limited number of forest reserves. The main threats to the species' survival are population fragmentation and isolation of the existing herds. To support and help monitor future conservation and management measures, we assessed the genetic diversity and population structure of Bornean elephants using mitochond...
