Unveiling the Genetic Structure of New Caledonian Dugongs Using a Multiscale Genetic Approach: Conservation Challenges for an Isolated Population. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe small New Caledonian dugong population is geographically isolated, with extremely low mitochondrial DNA. Using mitochondrial DNA, microsatellites, and SNPs from 66 samples collected over 2 decades, we identified fine‐scale genetic structure and confirmed strong differentiation from Australian populations.
