  • Genetic Assessment of Some Pheasant Species from Dhodial Pheasantry Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 47(6), pp. 1739-1742, 2015. Genetic Assessment of Some Pheasant Species from Dhodial Pheasantry Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Lubna Shahi,1 Inamullah,2,* Munawar Saleem Ahmad,3 Ikram Muhammad2 and Shahi Mulk1 1Department of Zoology, Hazara University, Mansehra, Pakistan 2Department of Genetics, Hazara University, Mansehra, Pakistan 3Department of Zoology, University of Swabi, Swabi , Pakistan Abstract-. The present research was carried out to distinguish three species of pheasants at molecular level. Fourteen RAPD Primers were used over the nine samples of three pheasant species. On average 3.35 alleles were amplified and the average genetic distance estimated was 7%-63%. Nine samples of three species were clustered into two groups using dendrogram. Group A comprised of samples of Lady Amherst (Chrysolophus amherstiae) and Golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus) while group B comprised of Yellow Golden (Chrysolophus pictus mut. luteus). It is concluded that the Lady Amherst and Yellow Golden are most distantly related, so the crossing of these two species is recommended for creating maximum genetic diversity. Key words: Genetic diversity, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Lady Amherst pheasant. INTRODUCTION The town is prominent around the world for a conservation project for Pheasants. A Pheasantry facilitates for the breeding of pheasants is present.

The epicenter of the earthquake was locat- ed near Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani-admin- istered Kashmir, and approximately 100 km. (60 miles) north-northeast of Islamabad, the national capital. A series of aftershocks followed. The earthquake devastat- ed towns and villages in the harsh mountainous terrain of North West Frontier Province, Northern Punjab and Pakistani-administered Kashmir. Poor communities in remote areas bore much of the brunt of the earth- quake. Even before the tragedy, people in six of the nine most-affected districts scraped a living from their small landholdings. Food shortages were common. Literacy levels were very low. Government services had difficulty reaching these remote valleys and mountains at the best of times; a normal winter would leave many communi- ties cut off and isolated for weeks at a time. After 8th October, life became even more harsh. The Epicenter of the Calamity Aftershocks and landslides severed roads hampering relief efforts. Some 250,000 people were forced into tented camps. Almost three-quarters of a million people were stranded in the mountains relying on airlifts for food, shelter and medicines.
