Population Genetic Structure and Conservation Genetics of Common Pheasant (Phasianus Colchicus Strauchi) Based on Mitochondrial DNA Control Region Genes
Common pheasant(Phasianus colchicus)is a world-widely distributed species as one of the most important game birds with numerous subspecies,while in China, there are 19.Our study is to demonstrate genetic structure and conservation genetics of common pheasant Gansu subspecies(P.c.strauchi),which is an endemic resident of Gansu,Ningxia and Qinghai provinces in northwestern China.
Mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)genome has proven to be useful in many avian phylogenetic and population studies,and the contro...
