Description:

Originating from only 12 individuals, the extant population of the European bison Bison bonasus (Linnaeus, 1758) has been severely bottlenecked and consequently exhibits a high degree of inbreeding. Previous studies of allozyme variation are to some extent contradictory regarding levels of genetic variation. However, they brought about evidence for a genetic depletion at nuclear loci. In this study, aythors investigated the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of 26 specimens of European bison from Białowieża Primeval Forest, Eastern Poland.
