genetic variation within and relatedness among wood and plains bison populations.there are two recognized subspecies of bison, wood (bison bison athabascae) and plains (bison bison bison) bison. the establishment of most bison populations from a small number of individuals has raised concerns about their genetic variation. to this end, 11 bison populations were surveyed with 11 microsatellite loci in order to calculate genetic variation and genetic distances. mean number of alleles ranged between 3.18 at antelope island state park (utah) and 6.55 at wood buffalo national par ...199910382295
genetic analysis of the henry mountains bison herd.wild american plains bison (bison bison) populations virtually disappeared in the late 1800s, with some remnant animals retained in what would become yellowstone national park and on private ranches. some of these private bison were intentionally crossbred with cattle for commercial purposes. this forced hybridization resulted in both mitochondrial and nuclear introgression of cattle genes into some of the extant bison genome. as the private populations grew, excess animals, along with their his ...201526673758
further studies on trypanosomes in game animals in wyoming ii.further studies on moose revealed trypanosomes in two captive moose (alces alces shirasi) and in 4 of 7 free-ranging moose in wyoming by blood culture. two free-ranging moose from utah were negative. one of two additional captive moose calves was positive for trypanosomes. trypanosomes also were detected in blood cultures of 8 of 39 american bison (bison bison) being brought into wyoming from nebraska. nineteen additional bison were negative for trypanosomes by blood cultures. identification of ...19817338978
