“…In addition to these divisions, significant internal structuring has been detected in roe sampled from the Italian and Iberian peninsulas. This supports the existence of a subspecies in central-southern Italy (C. c. italicus) (Lorenzini et al, 2002;Randi et al, 2004) and an additional Celtic-Iberian group in centralsouthern Spain (Royo et al, 2007). Taken together, these data likely reflect the existence of several glacial refugia .…”

Extant patterns of population structure and levels of diversity are a consequence of factors that vary in both space and time. Our objective in this study is to investigate a species that has responded to both natural and anthropogenic changes in ways that have shaped modern populations and provide insight into the key processes. The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is one of the two species of deer native to Britain. During the last glacial maximum (LGM), the British habitat was largely under ice and there was a land bridge to mainland Europe. As the Earth warmed during the early Holocene, the land bridge was lost. Subsequent hunting on the British mainland left the southern region extirpated of roe deer, whereas a refugial population remained in the north. Later reintroductions from Europe led to population expansion, especially in southern United Kingdom. Here, we combine data from ancient and modern DNA to track population dynamics and patterns of connectivity, and test hypotheses about the influence of natural and anthropogenic environmental change. We find that past expansion and divergence events coincided with a warming environment and the subsequent closure of the land bridge between Europe and the United Kingdom. We also find turnover in British roe deer haplotypes between the late-Holocene and modern day that have likely resulted from recent human disturbance activities such as habitat perturbation, overhunting and restocking.

“…2) it seems clear that there are two main groups corresponding to the two main regions described in [29]. The left cluster {1, 5, 7, 9, 2, 6} corresponds to Northwestern populations (with a further subdivision including the Pyrenean populations: 2 and 6), while the right cluster {3, 4, 8} is formed by CentralSouthern populations.…”

“…The main goal is to discover relationships between these populations according to the genetic descriptions of their individuals. For instance, in [29], nine Iberian roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) populations were analyzed in order to study their genetic variability and differentiation; in [13], 618 individuals from seventeen British populations of the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) were used to infer patterns of gene flow in Scottish otters and assess the influence of fragmentation on the genetic structure of otters in Wales and South West England; while [20] studied fifty indigenous cattle breeds from Africa together with five European (Bos taurus) and three Asian (Bos indicus) breeds to identify genetic signatures of their origins, spread and differentiation. In this paper, we address these three interesting applications to show that the proposed method can prove very useful in this context.…”

a b s t r a c tIn most cases, the main goal of machine learning and data mining applications is to obtain good classifiers. However, final users, for instance researchers in other fields, sometimes prefer to infer new knowledge about their domain that may be useful to confirm or reject their hypotheses. This paper presents a learning method that works along these lines, in addition to reporting three interesting applications in the field of population genetics in which the aim is to discover relationships between species or breeds according to their genotypes. The proposed method has two steps: first it builds a hierarchical clustering of the set of classes and then a hierarchical classifier is learned. Both models can be analyzed by experts to extract useful information about their domain. In addition, we propose a new method for learning the hierarchical classifier. By means of a voting scheme employing pairwise binary models constrained by the hierarchical structure, the proposed classifier is computationally more efficient than previous approaches while improving on their performance.

La población de corzos más abundante y más ampliamente distribuida es la que habita la mitad central y norte peninsular.…”

ResumenSe ha muestreado la presencia de corzos en 25 municipios diferentes de las sierras occidentales de Málaga, determinándose la abundancia de las poblaciones (grupos de excrementos/km) y la densidad relativa de las poblaciones (corzo/km 2 ) mediante la aplicación combinada de distance sampling y la conversión de tasas de defecación. Se ha analizado también la relación de la abundancia de corzos con las coberturas vegetales de las áreas estudiadas mediante modelos GLM. Los resultados se presentan por cuencas hidrológicas. Se ha encontrado que la densidad relativa de corzos en Málaga varía entre 0,18 y 2,49 corzo/km 2 . Los valores más altos se detectaron en el río Hozgarganta y en las sierras del valle del Genal. La menor densidad relativa se obtuvo en las sierras de la cuenca del río Guadalhorce. La abundancia de corzos está positivamente relacionada con la distancia a las poblaciones de origen de las sierras de Cádiz, con la cobertura de bosques mixtos de quercíneas y coníferas y con las formaciones de castaños. La abundancia se relaciona negativamente con el uso urbano, los usos agrícolas y el arbolado denso de coníferas. Los resultados obtenidos concuerdan con la hipótesis de que el corzo está en expansión en las sierras de Málaga. Palabras clave: Andalucía, corzo, densidad, expansión, IKA. AbstractWe have monitored the presence of roe deer in 25 municipalities in the occidental mountians of Málaga. We estimated roe deer abundance (pellet groups counts/km) and relative density (deer/km 2 ) by means of distance sampling and defecation rate conversion. We also analyzed the relationships between roe deer abundance and habitat vegetation and coverages by means of GLM models. Results are presented by hidrological basins. We found that roe deer relative density varied between 0.18 to 2.49 deer/km 2 . The highest values were found in the Hozgarganta river and the Genal river valley. The lowest was in the mountains around the Guadalhorce river basin. Roe deer abundance was positively related to the vicinity of roe deer population in the Cádiz mountains and to the coverage of mixed forests of oaks, pines and chestnuts. Roe deer abundance was negatively related to urban landuses, farmlands and dense pine forests. Our results are coherent with the hyphotesis of an expanding roe deer population in the Málaga mountains.
