Abstract
Here we report the first thorough genetic characterization of the long-understudied red deer population of Belarus in regards to its ancestry according to mtDNA sequence analysis. Employing a 346 base pair segment of the mitochondrial control region (d-loop) from 36 deer specimens of either sex recently harvested across the country, we have discovered 10 haplotypes belonging to 3 of the widely described European red deer lineages, or haplogroups: Iberian (A), Tyrrhenian (B), and Maraloid (E), clarifying the range limits of those lineages in the region. Combining this data with a comparative analysis of genetic diversity and historical records, we conclude that the Belarusian population of red deer has an artificially mixed origin, though it remains unclear how desirable such a state is, in terms of sustainable management, use, and conservation. Inquiries into ancient DNA are required to recognize the lineages closest to the autochthonous deer population of Belarus.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
