Sažetak
Distribution range of R.r. balcanica stretches from Slovenia to Greece and at present it is discontinuous. We have studied the genetic diversity and differentiation of chamois populations along the Balkan Peninsula with the aim to find the degree of admixture of chamois of Alpine origin (R.r. rupicapra) in Western Balkan. Nuclear microsatellites according to Muntwyler et al. (2002) were used for characterization of genetic diversity and differentiation of individual subpopulations and to define the mixed populations. Northern Croatian populations from Risnjak and Kupa proved to belong to Alpine genetic type together with Slovenian populations. Populations from Biokovo in Croatia and Devin in Bulgaria form another genetic group while Velebit populations with several Bosnian individuals contained both genetic types. Consequences for gene conservation and population management are given.
