    Systematics, phylogeography and population genetics of the Golden Jackal, Canis aureus
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2013) Negi, Tripti; Jhala, Y.V.
    The goal of this study was to elucidate the systematics, phylogeny, population genetic structure, genetic variability and the relationship of golden jackal in relation to other canid species. The study outline the general characteristics of family Canidae and golden jackal as a typical member of the family, the theory of conservation genetics, molecular genetics, and the molecular markers, taxonomic affiliation of golden jackal to other jackal species and to resolve their global higher level phylogenetic status in the genus Canis and population genetic structure and genetic variability among golden jackal in Western India, Gujarat.

    Population genetic structure and differentiation of monitor lizard (Varanus bengalensis) for conservation and illegal trade monitoring
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) Bala, Kumudini; Das, Abhijit
    The population of Varanus continuously decline through their distribution range due to over hunting and destruction of their habitat through anthropogenic activity. Reduction in population size will cause low genetic diversity, which leads to inbreeding rendering the population unfit to survive and pushing it to the brink of extinction. Objectives are 1. To establish the genetic signatures of Varanus bengalensis from Terai Arc Landscape and augmenting the genetic database of the species from the opportunistically collected samples from other Indian states. 2. To inventories the Varanus biological samples at Wildlife Institute of India for determining their species, phylogenetic status and genetic variation. 3. To determine the population genetic structure of V. bengalensis from examined samples
