dc.description.abstractThe Dinaric-Balkan grey wolf population used to be at a border between the large remaining Eastern European populations and the largely eradicated Western European populations. During the last few decades we have witnessed the Western European wolf population recovery. Substantial genetic variation has previously been reported in the Balkan wolf population, but rigorous genetic characterization has not been done for its central parts. The aims of this research were to determine genetic diversity based on mtDNA sequence variability, to infer possible population structuring, to find genetic signals of population expansions or bottlenecks and to evaluate phylogenetic position of the grey wolf population from the Central Balkans. Six haplotypes were detected, of which three have only been found in the Balkan region. These haplotypes belong to both haplogroups previously determined in Europe. Based on our mtDNA sequence analyses, the Dinaric-Balkan wolf population is vertically differentiated into "western" (Croatia/Bosnia and Herzegovina) and "eastern" (Serbia/Macedonia) subpopulations. None of the results support assumption of population expansion. Instead, significantly positive values for Tajima's D and Fu's Fs may suggest recent population bottleneck. Obtained data may be helpful in observation to which extent gene pool from the Balkans contribute to newly founded populations in Western Europe. © 2014 Deutsche Gesellschaft für Säugetierkunde.en_US
