Analysis of mitochondrial (mt) DNA size polymorphism in the form of variable number
tandem repeats (mtVNTRs) has become an increasingly popular methodology for …

Two novel mitochondrial gene arrangements are identified in an agamid lizard and a ranid
frog. Statistical tests incorporating phylogeny indicate a link between novel vertebrate …

This paper reports the first comprehensive analysis of Displacement loop (D-loop) region
sequences from ten different mammalian orders. It represents a systematic evolutionary …

Background From the beginning of domestication, the transportation of domestic animals
resulted in genetic and demographic processes that explain their present distribution and …

This study examines molecular relationships across a wide range of species in the mass
spawning scleractinian coral genus Acropora. Molecular phylogenies were obtained for 28 …

The entire mitochondrial DNA control region (mtDNA D-loop) was sequenced in the seven
extant species of Alectoris partridges. The D-loop length is very conserved (1155±2 …

The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule of the domestic sheep, Ovis aries, was
sequenced, together with part of the mtDNA of a specimen representing the other major O …

The mitochondrial control region (CR) sequence, also known as the D-loop, has been
determined for six Cervidae (Artiodactyla, Ruminantia): the red and fallow deers (subfamily …

In the early 1900s, the wolf (Canis lupus) was extirpated from France and Switzerland. There
is growing evidence that the species is presently recolonizing these countries in the western …

Thirteen nursery colonies of Myotis myotis were sampled in central Europe to investigate the
dispersal behaviour of this bat species. Mitochondrial DNA sequences of 260 bats reveal the …
