Genetic characterization of Southwestern European bovine breeds: a historical and biogeographical reassessment with a set of 16 microsatellites

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Iberian cattle origin. The authors have investigated the genetic data combined with the geographical positioning via the use of geostatistical models, and have characterized Portugues, Spanish and French cattle breeds for their genetic diversity.

Insight into the origin of endemic Mediterranean ichthyofauna: phylogeography of Chondrostoma genus (Teleostei, Cyprinidae)

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Chondrostoma species endemic to various Mediterranean rivers. The authors have established phylogenetic relationships among these species via the use of nucleotide sequence analyses of the cytochrome b mitochondrial gene.

The Origins of Iberian Horses Assessed via Mitochondrial DNA

Article Abstract:

The maternal phylogeography of native Barb, Exmoor, and Iberian horse breeds was researched. Findings indicated that Northern Iberian ponies are not the result of population replacement but the result of an introgression. Haplogroup data are provided.
