Sažetak
Croatia provides a unique opportunity to address questions regarding the effects of past hunting management on genetic structure and possible hybridization in the contact zone. In this study we used microsatellite and mitochondrial markers to analyse genetic variation and structure of chamois populations from different geographical areas with profoundly different histories. Specifically, we explored the areas in assumed contact zone, influence of the recent human translocations to the population structure and how geographical isolation is reflected in the genetic architecture of chamois populations. We successfully genotyped 74 individual samples, the number of alleles per locus (A) ranged from 6 to 20 with a mean of 9.20. The AR across populations ranged from 2.94 to 3.56 being the highest in the Prenj Mts. and lowest in the Biokovo Mts. Similar pattern was observed also for Ho, ranging between 0.729 and 0.572, and He, between 0.762 and 0.644. The global FST for seven population samples was 0.103±0.047 (range 0.01584 – 0.18471). The STRUCTURE result clearly separated samples from the Northern Dinaric Mts. (R.r. rupicapra) in tree clusters and from southern Dinaric Mts. (R.r. balcanica) in two clusters according to geographic location, the similar result we obtained even whit BAPS. By utilising mtDNA variation in chamois from Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, we confirm existence of rupicapra haplotypes on sites (GOT, CVE and GKO) and balcanica haplotypes on sites (PRE, NVE, CVE, BIO and DIN). Therefore, our data interfered the phylogenetic status of chamois from north western Dinaric Mts.
