Abstract
Genetic diversity of Barbary lion based on genealogic analysis
Highlights
Conservation of biodiversity has become one of the most important objectives, since diminishing diversity is considered to be a global problem addressed by many international programs, organizations, and strategies (Kadlečík et al, 2016).The lion (Panthera leo) belongs to mammals, from the taxonomic point of view to species from the genus Panthera and family Felidae (Linnaeus, 1758)
One of the main factors that affect the reliability of genetic diversity indices is the completeness of pedigree
Pedigrees provide information on the origin and development of zootechnical taxonomic units that are an important part of breeding works, especially in case of individuals with known ancestors listed in the pedigree have a higher breeding value
Summary
The lion (Panthera leo) belongs to mammals, from the taxonomic point of view to species from the genus Panthera and family Felidae (Linnaeus, 1758). It is quite different from other species belonging to this family. As shown in many studies of wild as well as domestic species, the decrease of population size is mostly accompanied by the significant loss of genetic diversity. That is important for ensuring the adaptive potential of species and preventing the occurrence of inbreeding depression over a long time period (Kadlečík et al, 2016)
