Ancient DNA reveals prehistoric habitat fragmentation and recent domestic introgression into native wild reindeer

2014-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Introgression and admixture from domestic or foreign conspecifics into wild populations are of great concern in wildlife conservation. The issue is of particular interest in ungulates where translocations and re-introductions have been common practice. In Europe, the only large remaining wild populations of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.) are found in the mountainous habitats of southern Norway. These populations...
