“…Although intraspecific taxonomy of the Siberian roe deer is debated, most authors agree that C. pygargus consists of at least two subspecies with a different number of B-chromosomes (Groves & Grubb, 2011): C. p. pygargus, distributed from the Volga River to lake Baikal; and C. p. tianschanicus found in Tien Shan, Mongolia, Trans-Baikalia, Russian Far East, and China (Danilkin, 1999;Sheremetyeva & Sheremetyev, 2008). Roe deer in Central China and Tibet are sometimes described as a separate subspecies, C. p. melanotis (Danilkin, 1999;Geptner, Nasimovich, & Bannikov, 1961;Sheremetyeva, Sheremetyev, Kartavtseva, & Zhuravlev, 2010); however, its status and range boundaries are controversial and unclear (Danilkin & Markov, 1987;Sokolov & Gromov, 1990;Sokolov et al, 1986). A fourth subspecies designation, C. p. ochracea, has been suggested for the isolated population of roe deer on Jeju Island, South Korea (Koh & Randi, 2001).…”

Current understanding of phylogeographical structure and genetic diversity of Siberian roe deer remains limited mainly due to small sample size and/or low geographical coverage in previous studies. Published data suggest at least two phylogroups: western (Ural Mountains and Western Siberia) and eastern (east from lake Baikal, including the Korean peninsula), but their phylogenetic relationship remains unclear. Combined sequences of cytochrome b (1140 bp) and the mtDNA control region (963 bp) were analyzed from 219 Siberian roe deer from 12 locations in Russia, Mongolia, and South Korea, which cover a large part of its range, to assess genetic diversity and phylogeographical status. Special emphasis was placed on the demographic history and genetic features of central, peripheral, and isolated populations. Results of median‐joining network and phylogenetic tree analyses indicate that Siberian roe deer from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean are genetically diverse and that geographical distribution and composition of haplogroups coincide with previously described ranges of the subspecies Capreolus pygargus pygargus and Capreolus pygargus tianschanicus. We found that peripheral populations in the northwestern parts of the species range (Urals), as well as the isolated population from Jeju Island, are genetically distinct from those in the core part of the range, both in terms of genetic diversity and quantitative composition of haplogroups. We also found that northwestern (Urals) and northern (Yakutia) peripheral populations share the same haplogroup and fall into the same phylogenetic clade with the isolated population from Jeju Island. This finding sheds light on the taxonomic status of the Jeju Island population and leads to hypotheses about the discordance of morphological and genetic evolution in isolated populations and specific genetic features of peripheral populations.

“…These studies using mtDNA demonstrated that Siberian roe deer can be divided into several major clusters with geographic patterns; the cluster in eastern Siberia and the western Siberia [ 20 , 21 ]. In contrast, some phylogeographic studies have reported no apparent geographic pattern of genetic variation among the broadly sampled Siberian roe deer [ 19 , 22 ].…”

BackgroundThe roe deer, Capreolus sp., is one of the most widespread meso-mammals of Palearctic distribution, and includes two species, the European roe deer, C. capreolus inhabiting mainly Europe, and the Siberian roe deer, C. pygargus, distributed throughout continental Asia. Although there are a number of genetic studies concerning European roe deer, the Siberian roe deer has been studied less, and none of these studies use microsatellite markers. Natural processes have led to genetic structuring in wild populations. To understand how these factors have affected genetic structure and connectivity of Siberian roe deer, we investigated variability at 12 microsatellite loci for Siberian roe deer from ten localities in Asia.ResultsModerate levels of genetic diversity (HE = 0.522 to 0.628) were found in all populations except in Jeju Island, South Korea, where the diversity was lowest (HE = 0.386). Western populations showed relatively low genetic diversity and higher degrees of genetic differentiation compared with eastern populations (mean Ar = 3.54 (east), 2.81 (west), mean FST = 0.122). Bayesian-based clustering analysis revealed the existence of three genetically distinct groups (clusters) for Siberian roe deer, which comprise of the Southeastern group (Mainland Korea, Russian Far East, Trans-Baikal region and Northern part of Mongolia), Northwestern group (Western Siberia and Ural in Russia) and Jeju Island population. Genetic analyses including AMOVA (FRT = 0.200), Barrier and PCA also supported genetic differentiation among regions separated primarily by major mountain ridges, suggesting that mountains played a role in the genetic differentiation of Siberian roe deer. On the other hand, genetic evidence also suggests an ongoing migration that may facilitate genetic admixture at the border areas between two groups.ConclusionsOur results reveal an apparent pattern of genetic differentiation among populations inhabiting Asia, showing moderate levels of genetic diversity with an east-west gradient. The results suggest at least three distinct management units of roe deer in continental Asia, although genetic admixture is evident in some border areas. The insights obtained from this study shed light on management of Siberian roe deer in Asia and may be applied in conservation of local populations of Siberian roe deer.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12863-015-0244-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…However, since our study was limited to the specimens from Jeju island of Korea, further study on C. pygargus from other populations is needed to clarify the phylogenetic trend of intraspecific variation of suture closure pattern of Capreolus . To date, considerable morphological and genetic variation among populations of C. pygargus has been recognized [ 19 , 20 , 24 ]. Especially, the population of Jeju Island, which is isolated from the Korean peninsula, is for sure genetically and morphologically distinct from other populations [ 8 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

Intraspecific variation of the interparietal suture closure in Siberian roe deer <i>Capreolus pygargus</i> from Jeju Island

The sequence of cranial suture closure among cervids is reported to be generally species-specific and highly conservative within species. On the other hand, it is known that intraspecific variation often exists to some extent in other mammalian taxa. Here we studied the cranial suture closures of Capreolus pygargus from Jeju Island and compared it with other cervid species. We found that the timing of the interparietal suture closure is highly variable within C. pygargus. Capreolus capreolus similarly shows intraspecific variation of the interparietal suture closure, whereas other cervid species studied to date do not show any intraspecific variation in the sequence of cranial suture closure. Such high intraspecific variation of the interparietal suture may be a derived character for Capreolus.
