Abstract

Blastocerus dichotomus, the marsh deer, is the largest Brazilian Cervidae species. The species is endangered because of hunting and loss of its natural habitat, i.e., flood plain areas, because of hydroelectric power station construction and agricultural land expansion. In the present study, we tested 38 microsatellite loci from four Cervidae species: Odocoileus virginianus (7), Rangifer tarandus (17), Capreolus capreolus (7), and Mazama bororo (7). Eleven loci showed clear amplification, opening a new perspective for the generation of fundamental population genetic data for devising conservation strategies for B. dichotomus.

摘要

南美泽鹿（Blastocerus dichotomus）是巴西鹿科中体型最大的物种。由于狩猎以及其天然栖息地（即洪泛平原地区）因水电站建设和农业用地扩张而丧失，该物种已濒临灭绝。在本研究中，我们测试了来自四个鹿科物种的38个微卫星位点：白尾鹿（Odocoileus virginianus，7个）、驯鹿（Rangifer tarandus，17个）、狍（Capreolus capreolus，7个）和侏儒鹿（Mazama bororo，7个）。11个位点显示出清晰的扩增，这为生成基础种群遗传数据以制定南美泽鹿的保护策略开辟了新的前景。
