Once a widespread and common species across the region of southeast Europe, Griffon vulture is now confined to small isolated populations Balkan Peninsula. The population from Serbia with 290 couples represents its biggest most viable that can serve as an important reservoir genetic diversity which birds be used for region's reintroduction or recolonization programs. To estimate level diversity, mitochondrial Cytb gene 58 unrelated sampled during marking in nests was sequenced compared...
Abstract The Griffon vulture was once a widespread species across the region of Southeast Europe, but it is now endangered and in some parts completely extinct. In Balkan Peninsula largest inland population inhabits territory Serbia. We present, for first time, genetic data this valuable that could be source future reintroduction programs planned South-eastern Europe. To characterize structure we used microsatellite markers from ten loci. Blood samples were collected 57 chicks directly nests...
Local populations of Apis mellifera are rapidly changing by modern beekeeping through the introduction nonnative queens, selection and migratory beekeeping. To assess genetic diversity contemporary managed honey bees in Serbia, we sequenced mitochondrial tRNAleu-cox2 intergenic region 241 worker from 46 apiaries at eight localities. Nine haplotypes were observed our samples, with C2d being most common widespread. evaluate patterns, compared data 1696 sequences NCBI GenBank neighbouring...
Socioeconomic interests and beekeeper preferences have often taken precedence over the conservation of locally native honey bee subspecies, leading to predominance admixture populations in human-dominated areas. To assess genetic diversity contemporary managed Serbian colonies, we used 14 microsatellite loci analyzed 237 worker bees from 46 apiaries eight localities northern southern Serbia. Furthermore, compared data for nine with 338 individuals Italy, Hungary, Poland, Spain. The standard...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has been evolving rapidly causing emergence of new variants and health uncertainties. Monitoring evolution virus was utmost importance public interventions development national global mitigation strategies. Here, we report data on variants, their distribution, dynamics in a 3-year study conducted from March 2020 to end January 2023 Republic Serbia. Nasopharyngeal oropharyngeal swabs 2,398...
Genetic variability of Roma population was shaped by the strong influence genetic drift and gene flow during migrations from their ancestral homeland in Indian subcontinent towards Europe. In addition, social stigmatization many European countries, as a consequence different cultural heritage practices, induced further differentiation sub structuring within population. Although populations studies on were carried out, structure Serbian has not been described yet, since only modest number...
DNA-based prediction of a physical appearance, also known as DNA phenotyping, is rapidly developing field with great potential for solving difficult forensic investigations. Externally visible characteristics (EVCs), such eye colour, are easily recognised and genetically determined. Analysis highly informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) encompassing trait-associated genes provides information about the phenotype an unknown individual, which critical in cases where standard STR...
