Introduction
Sequence data of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), notably the peptide-coding genes, have become a widely used tool for addressing phylogenetic relationships at various levels, especially among ... |

| In this paper the Bayesian approach for nonlinear multivariate calibration will be illustrated. This goal will be achieved by applying the Gibbs sampler to the rhinoceros data given by Clarke (1992, Biometrics, 48(4), 1081-1094). It will be shown that the point estimates obtained from the profile... |

| In captive population Rhinoceros unicornis, 1981-1990. The mean inbreeding coefficient of calves born in captivity increased from zero in the 1950s to 0.084 (range 0-0.375) in the 1980s. Of 53 calves born 1981-1990, 16 (30 %) were inbred.
The mean inbreeding coefficient (1981-1990):

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, ... |

| Rhinoceros are chromosomally very conservative. Rhinoceros unicornis, Dicerorhinus sumatrensis, Ceratotherium simum all have karyotype 2n = 82, even though they last shared a common ancestor more than 15 million years ago. |

| This method (PAA) involves successive searches for fixed differences among aggregations of local populations. Characters are attributes that are not polymorphic and are unique within populations. Traits are attributes that may be polymorphic and are not unique to a population. |
