| population genetic structure of critically endangered salamander (hynobius amjiensis) in china: recommendations for conservation. | amji's salamander (hynobius amjiensis) is a critically endangered species (iucn red list), which is endemic to mainland china. in the present study, five haplotypes were genotyped for the mtdna cyt b gene in 45 specimens from three populations. relatively low levels of haplotype diversity (h = 0.524) and nucleotide diversity (π = 0.00532) were detected. analyses of the phylogenic structure of h. amjiensis showed no evidence of major geographic partitions or substantial barriers to historical gen ... | 2016 | 27323156 |
