| identifying source populations and genetic structure for savannah elephants in human-dominated landscapes and protected areas in the kenya-tanzania borderlands. | we investigated the genetic metapopulation structure of elephants across the trans rift valley region of kenya and tanzania, one of the remaining strongholds for savannah elephants (loxodonata africana) in east africa, using microsatellite and mitochondrial dna (mtdna) markers. we then examined this population structure to determine the source population for a recent colonization event of savannah elephants on community-owned land within the trans rift valley region. four of the five sampled pop ... | 2012 | 23300634 |
