Retrospective evaluation and modern state of the moose (Alces alces L.) population in West Siberia: Ecological and molecular-genetic aspects

Based on the analysis of materials collected for many years the dynamics of the moose’s habitat and population numbers in West Siberia is described. For the southeast of the West Siberian part of the habitat the cohabitation of mooses with the haplotypes of both European ( A. a. alces L.) and East S...

Description
Summary:Based on the analysis of materials collected for many years the dynamics of the moose’s habitat and population numbers in West Siberia is described. For the southeast of the West Siberian part of the habitat the cohabitation of mooses with the haplotypes of both European ( A. a. alces L.) and East Siberian ( A. a. pfizenmayeri Zukowski) subspecies is demonstrated on the basis of investigation of the structure of the mtDNA D-loop hypervariable domain. High nucleotide (p) and haplotypic (H) diversity substantially exceeding corresponding indices for the moose in the European part of Russia and the Urals has been revealed.
