New Paper: Ancient DNA identifies post-glacial recolonisation, not recent bottlenecks, as the primary driver of contemporary mtDNA phylogeography and diversity in Scandinavian brown bears

A new paper involving Environment Institute members , (also Museum Victoria), Jessica Metcalf (also University of Colorado), (also University of Sydney) and as well as Kjartan 脴stbye (University of Oslo & Hedmark University College, Norway), Elvind 脴stbye (University of Oslo), Stein-Erik Lauritzen (University of Bergen, Norway), Kim Aaris-S酶rensen (University of Copenhagen) and Cristina Valdiosera (Universidad Complutense de Madrid-Instituto de Salud Carlos III de Evolucion y Comportamiento Humanos, Madrid) has recently been published in the journal .

The paper titled employed ancient DNA techniques to investigate the timing and origins of the mtDNA structure in brown bear populations in Scandinavia. Identifying the patterns of this mtDNA structure is important for conservation programs aimed at restoring populations to a natural state.
