“…The values of polymorphism and heterozygosity are similar to those detected by Hartl et al (1990). Due to the increased sample sizes of individuals, however, a third rare allele at the Me-i locus was detected.…”

“…It must be noted, however, that the extent of enzyme variation in the white-tailed deer is by far the highest among all deer species yet studied, both with respect to the number of loci polymorphic and the number of alleles found (see Hartl & Reimoser, 1988;Hartl et al, 1990, for reviews). A possible difference in the significance of enzyme polymorphism between r-(white-tailed) and Kstrategist (red) deer species has been discussed by Hartl & Reimoser (1988).…”

Morphological characters in red deer ( Cervus elaphus), which serve as criteria for selective hunting, were examined in relation to electrophoretic variation in three populations from the Vosges in eastern France. From the polymorphic loci examined, certain alleles at Idh-2, Me-i and Acp-i showed significant associations with a special development of body and antler characters selected for by hunters. Idh-2'25 was associated with larger hind foot length in females and a higher number of antler points in males. Me-19° and Acp-1'°° were associated with small spikes. The populations studied differed from one another in the duration and intensity of selective hunting and the increase or decrease in the respective allele frequencies could be explained by selection for large body size, a high number of antler points and against small spikes in yearlings, rather than by genetic drift. Among other morphological characters examined, the length of the main beam was significantly associated with the allele Acp-2'°°. In contrast, no associations could be detected between overall heterozygosity and the development or the degree of asymmetry (in paired structures) of any of the morphological traits in question. Although no obvious differences in the overall values of polymorphism or heterozygosity were found between the populations, selective hunting leads towards a change in allele frequencies and eventually to the loss of one or the other rare allele.

“…At finer spatial scales, female philopatry can result in clustering of related individuals and structuring of nuclear genotypes across continuous space (Coltman et al, 2003b;Nussey et al, 2005). Studies of red deer using nuclear DNA or protein markers have tended to find significant genetic structure between proximate populations of red deer in Europe, while failing to find evidence of any relationship between genetic and geographic distances between populations (Gyllensten et al, 1983;Hartl et al, 1990Hartl et al, , 1995. This is just the pattern expected among populations subject to physical isolation and regular introductions from diverse source populations.…”

“…Hunting may act to reduce spatial genetic structure if it is associated with disturbance to social structure leading to increased migration, or generates spatial differences in mating opportunities that may encourage dispersal (Harris et al, 2002). Anthropogenic activity may also isolate such populations either through deliberate enclosure of managed stocks (eg fenced populations) or habitat fragmentation and human constructions preventing natural dispersal (Hartl et al, 1990), leading to increased genetic differentiation through genetic drift and mutation.…”

Genetic consequences of human management in an introduced island population of red deer (Cervus elaphus)

et al. 2006

We investigated phylogeography and spatial genetic structure in an introduced island population of red deer (Cervus elaphus) on the Isle of Rum, Scotland, experiencing spatial variation in management regime. Five different mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes were present among female red deer on Rum. These comprised two phylogenetically divergent groups, one of which clustered with red deer from Sardinia and North Africa, while the other four grouped with other Western European red deer. Recent and historical red deer management practices explain this result. The Rum population is descended from recent introductions from at least four different UK mainland populations, and translocation of red deer within the UK and across Europe is well documented. We found significant spatial genetic structure across Rum in both mtDNA haplotypes and microsatellite markers. Mitochondrial spatial structure was over an order of magnitude greater than structure in nuclear markers. This extreme difference is explained by the fact that the Rum population was introduced from different source populations, the highly male-biased dispersal patterns of red deer and the much smaller effective population size of mitochondrial compared to nuclear markers. Spatial structure in mtDNA conformed to a pattern of isolation by distance, while nuclear DNA did not. Apparent structure in the nuclear markers was driven by differences between the North Block and the rest of the island. We suggest that recent differences in the management regimes in different parts of the island have led to differences in effective male migration that would account for this observation.

“…Deer are among the few groups of large mammals which have been extensively studied by electrophoretic multilocus investigations to evaluate genetic diversity within and between populations and species (see Hartl and Reimoser, 1988;Hartl et al, 1990a for reviews). However, in contrast to the red deer (Bergmann, 1976;Kleymann, 1976a, b); Bergmann and Moser, 1985;Pemberton et al, 1988;Hartl et al, 1990aHartl et al, , 1991, the fallow deer (Pemberton and Smith, 1985;; Randi and Apollonio, 1988; Herzog, 1989), the moose (Ryman et al, 1977(Ryman et al, , 1980(Ryman et al, , 1981Reuterwall, 1980), the reindeer (R 0 ed et al, 1985;Røed, 1985aRøed, , b, 1986Røed, , 1987 and the white-tailed deer (Manlove et al, 1975(Manlove et al, , 1976Baccus et al, 1977;Johns et al, 1977;Ramsey et al, 1979;Chesser et al, 1982;Smith et al, 1983;Sheffield et al, 1985;Breshears et al, 1988) the factors influencing the amount and distribution of biochemical genetic variation in one of the most abundant European deer species, the roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), are only poorly understood.…”
