| high levels of variation despite genetic fragmentation in populations of the endangered mountain pygmy-possum, burramys parvus, in alpine australia. | in endangered mammals, levels of genetic variation are often low and this is accompanied by genetic divergence among populations. the mountain pygmy-possum (burramys parvus) is an endangered marsupial restricted to the alpine region of victoria and new south wales, australia. by scoring variation at eight microsatellite loci, we found that b. parvus populations exhibit high levels of genetic divergence and fall into three distinct groups from the northern, central and southern areas of the distr ... | 2007 | 17181722 |
