Lions (Panthera leo) play a crucial ecological role in shaping and maintaining fragile ecosystems within Africa. Conservation efforts should focus on genetic variability wild populations when considering reintroduction attempts. We studied two groups of lions from conservation sites located Zambia Zimbabwe to determine their make-up, information that is usually unknown the sites. In this study, we analysed 17 specimens for cytb seven microsatellite markers ascertain family relationships...
The Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) is widely distributed in Italy, where it the ecologically dominant on sandy and acidic soil. In this work, we analysed 23 natural populations by means of eight SSR (microsatellite) markers, to obtain first synthetic map genetic variability for species study its dispersion during Holocene, due possibility that at least one refugium Last Glacial Maximum was Italy. analyses showed a good amount together with fair differentiation between populations, as...
The sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is an important species of European trees, studied for both ecological and economic reasons. Its cultivation in the Italian peninsula can be linked to Roman period has been documented, especially Tuscan region, centuries. We sampled 131 grafted trees from three separate areas determine genetic variability between populations assess identity different varieties which useful future breeding programs propagation efforts. Molecular analyses were...
The sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is subject to the progressive disappearance of its traditional groves. In northern part Italy, where distribution fragmented, many local varieties continue be identified mostly by oral tradition. We characterised SSRs eleven historically recognised in area surrounding Lake Como, with goal giving a genetic basis classification. performed classical analysis about differentiation and used Bayesian approaches detect population structure reconstruct...
Assessing the degree of diversity genetic differentiation rare or endangered endemic species is essential to evaluate conservation status populations and implement appropriate strategies. We investigated population structure Salvia ceratophylloides Ard., an in Calabria (southern Italy), both answer question its assess whether actual size has undergone significant demographic changes near past. The data obtained from census showed that are characterised more by adult individuals than...
