Twelve novel polymorphic microsatellite loci developed from the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus)
Since the number and range of Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) are declining due to habitat loss and illegal trade, it is essential to take effective actions to reinforce the conservation of the remaining be...

Slee** Sites of Rhinopithecus brelichi at Yangao**, Guizhou
Arboreal primates spend about half of their lives at slee** sites; hence, selection of slee** sites is crucial for individual survival, and data concerning them is important for conservation efforts. We co...

Sequence Polymorphism and Evolution of Three Cetacean MHC Genes
Sequence variability at three major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes (DQB, DRA, and MHC-I) of cetaceans was investigated in order to get an overall understanding of cetacean MHC evolution. Little sequence v...

Thirty-three microsatellite loci for noninvasive genetic studies of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)
Limited microsatellite markers useable in noninvasive genetic methods have hampered the studies of dispersal patterns and mating systems of giant pandas. Therefore, we describe in this paper the characterizati...

Isolation and characterization of fourteen microsatellite loci for striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius)
We describe the isolation and characterization of 14 microsatellite loci in the striped field mouse from genomic DNA-enriched libraries in this paper. The 14 new loci were tested in 24 individuals from four po...

Phylogenetic relationships among deer in China derived from mitochondrial DNA cytochromeb sequences
The phylogenetic relationships of Cervidae and Moschidae were examined using partial sequence data of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochromeb. Ten new sequences were obtained for six species of Cervidae and Moschid...
