Genetic consequences of human management in an introduced island population of red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Article Abstract:
The phylogeography and spatial genetic structure in an introduced island population of red deer, Cervus elaphus, on the Isle of Rum, Scotland, which are experiencing spatial variation in management regime, are investigated. The results have shown that the differences in the management regimes in different parts of the island have led to differences in effective male migration that would account of this observation.

Phylogeography of the threatened crayfish (genus Austropotamobius) in Italy: Implications for its taxonomy and conservation
Article Abstract:
A nucleotide sequence analysis of a portion of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit was performed to define the phylogeography of the threatened crayfish Austropotamobius (Decapoda, Astacidae) in Italy. It was concluded that not only the Austropotamobius species but the Ahyscomitrella italicus subspecies are generally and taxonomically separate units and require independent conservation plans.

Mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite analyses of the genetic status of the presumed subspecies Cervus elaphus montanus (Carpathian red deer)
Article Abstract:
The comparison of the Carpathian red deer genetically to the other European species is detailed. The Carpathian red deer was identified as one of the few remaining natural populations of the species, deserving special attention among game and conservation biologists.
