Biokovo genetic story after more than half a century from the reintroduction
Literature, historical and archaeological data confirm that chamois once lived in the Biokovo Mountain (first records ca. 12 thousand years ago). The population became extirpated in the early 20th century due to many reasons such as overhunting, poaching, competition with and disturbance by livestock. The population was later reintroduced (1964-1969), 48 individuals were released from the neighbouring mountains in Bosnia Herzegovina (BIH). The main objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of historical data on the origin of the Balkan chamois population on Biokovo Mountain and to assess the population genetic status of both the initial and translocated populations 56 years after the reintroduction. We used 16 microsatellite loci to analyse the genetic structure of Balkan chamois populations. We screened three populations from BIH: Prenj (12), Čvrsnica (12) and Čabulja Mountains (5), and one from Biokovo Mountain (20). Independent analysis of the BIH populations in STRUCTURE revealed a clear separation of the population of Prenj from the populations of Čvrsnica and Čabulja, with the latter two forming a single population. This suggests the Neretva River and the highway M-17 may be effective barriers for the species as the constitute a genetic boundary. By including the Biokovo population in STRUCTURE analysis, it built a separated cluster. This divergence may be due to the historical founder effect and more recent genetic drift due to isolation, and local adaptation. Interestingly, we report a considerable genetic similarity between the Biokovo and Čvrsnica-Čabulja populations. This suggests that the Biokovo population may have multiple origins, not only from Prenj Mountain, as primarily assumed based on both available literature and personal communications.
