Comparison between DNA sequences of Borneo elephants with those of other Asian elephants settles a longstanding dispute about the origins of these endangered animals.

DNA Analysis Indicates That Asian Elephants Are Native to Borneo and Are Therefore a High Priority for Conservation (2003)

Prithiviraj Fernando, John Payne, Michael Stuewe, Geoffrey Davison, Raymond J. Alfred, ...

The origin of Borneo's elephants is controversial. Two competing hypotheses argue that they are either indigenous, tracing back to the Pleistocene, or were introduced, descending from elephants...

DIVERSIFICATION OF SULAWESI MACAQUE MONKEYS: DECOUPLED EVOLUTION OF MITOCHONDRIAL AND AUTOSOMAL DNA (2003)

Ben J. Evans, Jatna Supriatna, Noviar Andayani, Don J. Melnick

In macaque monkeys, females are philopatric and males are obligate dispersers. This social system is expected to differently affect evolution of genetic elements depending on their mode of...

PATERNAL, MATERNAL, AND BIPARENTAL MOLECULAR MARKERS PROVIDE UNIQUE WINDOWS ONTO THE EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF MACAQUE MONKEYS (2003)

Anthony J. Tosi, Juan Carlos Morales, Don J. Melnick

We report the results of one of the first intrageneric analyses to simultaneously survey mitochondrial, Y-chromosomal, and autosomal loci from the same individuals representing the same taxa....

MONKEYS AND TOADS DEFINE AREAS OF ENDEMISM ON SULAWESI (2003)

Ben J. Evans, Jatna Supriatna, Noviar Andayani, Mohammed Iqbal Setiadi, David C. Cannatella, Don J. Melnick

Ecological or geological phenomena can impose limits on geographic diversification that cause biogeographical patterns of distantly related but sympatrically occurring taxa to be similar. Concordant...

Isolation and characterization of tri- and tetranucleotide microsatellite loci in the Asian elephant, Elephas maximus (2001)

Fernando, Prithiviraj, Vidya, TNC, Melnick, Don J

Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are an endangered species. Their future survival depends on intensive conservation and management, based on in-depth knowledge of particular populations. Molecular...
