| comparative mtdna analyses of three sympatric macropodids from a conservation area on the huon peninsula, papua new guinea. | matschie's tree kangaroo (dendrolagus matschiei), new guinea pademelon (thylogale browni), and small dorcopsis (dorcopsulus vanheurni) are sympatric macropodid taxa, of conservation concern, that inhabit the yopno-urawa-som (yus) conservation area on the huon peninsula, papua new guinea. we sequenced three partial mitochondrial dna (mtdna) genes from the three taxa to (i) investigate network structure; and (ii) identify conservation units within the yus conservation area. all three taxa displaye ... | 2016 | 26006282 |
| a multiplex pcr assay to distinguish among three sympatric marsupial taxa from huon peninsula, papua new guinea, using the mitochondrial control region. | matschie's tree kangaroo (dendrolagus matschiei) is an endangered arboreal macropodid marsupial that is difficult to locate in the wild. the tree kangaroo conservation program noninvasively collected d. matschiei faecal samples, but a high percentage of samples were misidentified and belonged to two terrestrial macropods, new guinea pademelon (thylogale browni) and small dorcopsis (dorcopsulus vanheurni). we developed species-specific primers that produced a unique sized mitochondrial dna contro ... | 2010 | 21565037 |
