Population genetics reveal potential threats from low maternal genetic diversity in wild Asian elephants in China

Population genetics reveal potential threats from low maternal genetic diversity in wild Asian elephants in China

In China, wild Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are primarily distributed in three prefectures in Southwest Yunnan, along the border with Laos and Myanmar. These elephants occur in small, fragmented populations and face significant threats from habitat loss and fragmentation. Here, we successfully...
