Electrophoretic and chromosomal variation in captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430140202.abs To investigate genetic diversity in captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), a total of 26 individuals from zoos in the German cities of Berlin, Hamburg, and Leipzig, and from Zürich, Switzerland, were investigated for electrophoretic variation at 44 presumptive blood protein and enzyme coding loci. The proportion of polymorphic loci (P = 4.6%) and […]
