Conservation
Sumatran Rhino
|
| There is no strong evidence supporting more than one conservation unit for Sumatran rhino. Chromosomal conservation and degree of sequence divergence make outbreeding depression an unlikely outcome if individuals, or their gametes, are translocated as part of a conservation management plan. |

Genetics
Sumatran Rhino
|
| 17 Sumatran rhinos were sequenced for 953 bases of 12S and 16S mitochondrial sequences. The 17 rhinos came from Sumatra (6), Borneo (4) and West Malaysia (7). Four haplotypes were identified. Only one haplotype was found in the samples from Borneo, one haplotype in samples from West Malaysia, ... |
