Abstract
Present study is based on the genetic diversity, phylogenetics, and the population genetic structure of Indian red muntjac in India and also compared with other existing muntjac. The objectives of the study are:
1. To assess the genetic diversity of the Indian red muntjacs among different populations using mtDNA and microsatellites markers.
2. To investigate the phylogenetic relationships of Indian red muntjac with respect to other species.
3. To investigate the population genetic structure, gene flow and demographic history of Indian red muntjac.
