In this study, we used gene order comparisons between C. elaphus CerEla1.0 and B. taurus ARS-UCD1.2 genome assemblies and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with bovine BAC probes to verify the red deer-bovine chromosome relationships and anchor the CerEla1.0 C-scaffolds to karyotypes of both species. We showed the homology between bovine and deer chromosomes and determined the centromere- Citation: Vozdova, M.; Kubickova, telomere orientation of the CerEla1.0 C-scaffolds. Using a set of BAC probes, we were able to S.; Cernohorska, H.; Fröhlich, J.; narrow the positions of evolutionary chromosome breakpoints defining the family Cervidae. In Rubes, J. Anchoring the CerEla1.0 Genome Assembly to Red Deer addition, we revealed several errors in the current CerEla1.0 genome assembly. Finally, we expanded (Cervus elaphus) and Cattle (Bos taurus) our analysis to other Cervidae and confirmed the locations of the cervid evolutionary fissions and Chromosomes and Specification of orientation of the fused chromosomes in eight cervid species.

Blood samples were taken from two male and two female deer. After standard whole blood T-lymphocytes were cultured at 37°C for 72 h in presence of colchicine, metaphase spreads were per- formed on microscopic slides and air-dried. Conventional staining, GTG-, high-resolution and Ag-NOR banding techniques were applied to stain the chromosome. The results show that the diploid chromosome number of H. porcinus was 2n=68, the fundamental number (NF) was 70 in both males and females. The types of autosomes observed were 6 large telocentric, 18 medium telocentric and 42 small telocentric chromosomes.

Genetic Analysis of Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) and Sika Deer (Cervus nippon) to Evaluate Possible Hybridisation in Lithuania. Baltic Forestry 23(3): 683690. Abstract Genetic diversity of the red deer Cervus elaphus (6 individuals from enclosures and 33 individuals living in the wild) and the sika deer Cervus nippon (30 individuals from enclosures) species was studied by using tissue samples from the legally hunted animals in Lithuania. Genotyping was based on seven microsatellites loci (STR) of nuclear DNA. The STR loci were variable, with 1-17 alleles and higher than intermediate values of heterozygosity (sika deer: H =0.695, H =0.694; wild red deer: o e H =0.626, H =0.624; red deer from enclosures: H =0.639, H =0.667). Among 69 individuals phenotypically designated as red o e o e deer and sika deer by hunters, based on Bayesian method 31 individuals had Q-values of 0.95-1.0 (pure red deer), 3 individuals had Q-values of 0.750.95 (hybrid of the red type), 2 individuals had values of 0.25 < Q £ 0.75 (intermediate hybrid), 6 individuals had Q-values of 0.050.25 (hybrid of the sika type), and 27 individuals had Q values of 00.05 (pure sika).

  • The Demography and Life History Strategies of Timber Elephants in Myanmar
    THE DEMOGRAPHY AND LIFE HISTORY STRATEGIES OF TIMBER ELEPHANTS IN MYANMAR by Khyne U Mar Thesis submitted to the University College London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy July, 2007 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study could not have been carried out without the support of the following funding agencies and persons. The International Foundation for Science, Sweden (IFS grant B/2295-1) provides financial support to conduct the Myanmar elephant studbook project. Special thanks to Prospect Burma Foundation (UK) for continuous support for both Masters of Science and PhD studies at the University of London. Charles Wallace Burma Trust (UK), Three Oaks Foundation (Canada), Whitley-Laing Foundation (The Rufford Small Grants for Nature Conservation, UK), Toyota Foundation (Japan), Fantham Memorial Research Scholarship in Zoology, Department of Biology, University College London and Wildlife Conservation Society (USA) Field Veterinary Program provide significant funding that contribute towards my research, overseas travel and tuition fees. My profound gratitude goes to Professor Dr. Adrian M Lister, Department of Biology, University College London, for his unfailing support, constructive comments and valuable suggestions on the preparation of this thesis. My thanks go to Professor Georgina Mace (Director of Science, Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London) for supervision and guidance. An ordinary “appreciation” for my direct advisor, Dr. Marcus Rowcliffe, Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, is entirely inadequate to express how grateful I am for his guidance, unending patience of teaching me statistics (sometimes up to six times), attention to detail in editing my “Burmese” English to “British” English and constant encouragement during my days in the Institute of Zoology.
