Domestication of livestock species and a long history of migrations, selection and adaptation
have created an enormous variety of breeds. Conservation of these genetic resources relies …

The domestic Asian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is found on all five continents, with a
global population of some 202 million. The livelihoods of more people depend on this …

A comparative study between microsatellite and allozyme markers was conducted on
natural populations of resident brown trout (Salmo trutta) sampled over a reduced …

A set of eleven pig breeds originating from six European countries, and including a small
sample of wild pigs, was chosen for this study of genetic diversity. Diversity was evaluated …

This book is about the contribution to evolutionary theory and agricultural technology of one
of humankind's most dramatic imitations of the evolu tionary process, namely crop …

Abstract. It has been long recognized that highly polymorphic genetic markers can lead to
underestimation of divergence between populations when migration is low. Microsatellite …

Drawing on the latest research in archaeozoology, archaeology, and molecular biology,
Animals as Domesticates traces the history of the domestication of animals around the …

During the past decade a large number of genetic diversity studies in domestic livestock
based on microsatellite loci was carried out all over the world. A survey among research …

Genetic diversity in eight Swiss goat breeds was estimated using PCR amplification of 20
bovine microsatellites on 20–40 unrelated animals per breed. In addition, the Creole breed …

The genetic variability of various local chicken populations derived from Bolivia, India,
Nigeria and Tanzania was evaluated with 22 microsatellites. Between two and 11 alleles per …
