Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation in Newfoundland Caribou:
a representative DNA data set for evolutionary genetic analysis
MtDNA sequences of 2,223 bp were obtained from a total of 233 Caribou from 14 Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) on the island of Newfoundland. Each WMU is treated as a sub-population, which are grouped into sets of non-overlapping Herds that make up the total island population. Phylogenetic analysis shows that they occur in four distinct but related genetic lineages (clades, designated A, B, C, & D) (Figure 1). Each clade in turn comprises a number of related haplotypes (haploid DNA sequences, designated a, b, c, ... , s). This table gives the count of haplotypes for each WMU.
