The mitochondrial genome of the hog deer (Axis porcinus) was sequenced using an Illumina MiSeq. assembled consists 16,351 bp, and shared a 99.8% similarity to published chital axis) genome, suggesting that they belong same species. Further research is ongoing understand why these genomes are highly similar.
In Australia, many species have been introduced that since undergone drastic declines in their native range. One of note is the hog deer (Axis porcinus) which was 1860s to Victoria, and has become endangered its range throughout South-East Asia. There increased interest using non-native populations as a source for genetic rescue; however, considerations need be made suitability population. Three mitochondrial markers two nuclear were sequenced assess variation Victorian population deer,...
Context Introduced populations of sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) and rusa timorensis) are present across south-eastern Australia subject to local population control alleviate their negative impacts. For management be effective, identification dispersal capability units is necessary. These species also readily hybridise, so additional investigation hybridisation rates distributions necessary understand the interactions between two species. Aims Measure rate deer, assess broad-scale structure...
Abstract Hog deer were introduced to Australia in the 1860s, where they have spread across Gippsland region of Victoria. Due its status as an species and important game animal within Victoria, management is complex. Given this complexity, genetic studies can provide information regarding population structure diversity which assist controlling problematic populations hog deer, while also ensuring viable stock sites managed reserves. The aim study was investigate Victorian 150 years after...
Context A wild population of non-native hog deer has established in the Gippsland region Victoria, Australia, and there is particular concern about its impact on native vegetation Wilsons Promontory National Park (WPNP). Since 2015, been annual culling at WPNP to reduce abundances impacts. Aims The aims this study were use a kinship approach based genotyping assess contemporary dispersal across WPNP, by identifying close kin, determine whether into culled sites from unculled may affect...
Abstract The establishment of non-native populations threatened and legally protected species can have many implications for the areas where these been introduced. Non-native potential to be exploited therefore subject legal protection, while conversely, if they become invasive in their introduced range, there is likelihood that population control will carried out reduce abundance negative impacts associated with species. From both a monitoring standpoint, it important know how individuals...
