  • Genetic Variability of the Critically Endangered Softshell Turtle, Rafetus Swinhoei: a Preliminary Report
    Genetic Variability of the Critically Endangered Softshell Turtle, Rafetus swinhoei: A Preliminary Report Minh Duc Le Centre for Natural Resources and Environmental Studies 19 Le Thanh Tong Street Hanoi, Vietnam Tel: 098-3456-098 Email: [email protected] Peter Pritchard Chelonian Research Institute 402 South Central Avenue Oviedo, Florida 32765 USA [email protected] Citation: Le, M.D. and P. Pritchard. 2009. Genetic variability of the critically endangered softshell turtle Rafetus swinhoei: A preliminary report. In the Proceedings of the First Vietnamese National Symposium on Reptiles and Amphibians, pp. 84-92. Page 1 ABSTRACT The critically endangered softshell turtle, Rafetus swinhoei, is on the verge of extinction due to anthropogenic threats. However, taxonomic status of populations throughout its range has not been evaluated thoroughly. This project aims to fill this gap of knowledge by sampling all available specimens in museums and collections around the world. Using forensic methods and a phylogenetic approach, the project attempts to reveal the population structure and genetic diversity among these populations. The results of this study will in turn be helpful to the formulation of conservation measures for this species, especially future captive breeding programs by identifying genetically distinct populations. In this report, we present our preliminary results showing the deep divergence between R. swinhoei and R. euphraticus, and that genetic divergence of R. swinhoei's populations within Vietnam is not high, although sequencing errors may confound precise interpretation. For future research, more samples from other parts of its range, especially samples from China, should be analyzed in order to fully understand population differentiation and structure of this poorly known species.
