Abstract The Asian tapir (Tapirus indicus) has been classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (2008). Genetic diversity data provide important information for the management of captive breeding and conservation of this species. We analyzed mitochondrial control region (CR) sequences from 37 captive Asian tapirs in Thailand. Multiple alignments of the full-length CR sequences sized 1268 bp comprised three domains as described in other mammal species. Analysis of 16…

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus) populations in the Malay Peninsula based on mitochondrial DNA control region
TLDR
The co-occurrence of the two lineages in southern Malay Peninsula suggested past historical events of population isolation, migration and admixture as a result of episodic glacial periods and paleoenvironmental changes in SEA.
The novel primers for mammal species identification-based mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence: implication for reserved wild animals in Thailand and endangered mammal species in Southeast Asia
TLDR
The powerful techniques for species identification using the short amplicon of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence could recognize the problematic biological specimens contained less DNA material from illegal products and assist with wildlife crime investigation of threatened species and related forensic casework.

Use of mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences to determine the origin of captive Asian tapirs Tapirus indicus: implications for conservation
TLDR
The results suggest that there may be up to 7 distinct haplotypes of T. indicus, and the diverged geographic distribution of these haplotypes illustrates the phylogeographic history of the family Tapiridae based on 963 bp cytochrome b sequences.
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Asian tapirs (Tapirus indicus): the only extant Tapiridae species in the old world
TLDR
The first full-length mitochondrial DNA sequence of Asian tapir is 16,717 bp in length and base composition shows 34.6% A, 27.2% T, 25.8% C and 12.3% G.
The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the donkey and mtDNA comparisons among four closely related mammalian species-pairs
TLDR
The mtDNA differences between the donkey and the horse suggest that the evolutionary separation of the two species occurred =9 million years ago and the relative evolutionary rate of individual peptide-coding genes varies among different species-pairs and modes of comparison.
Rapid evolution of a heteroplasmic repetitive sequence in the mitochondrial DNA control region of carnivores
TLDR
The pattern of change seen within and between species suggests that a dominant mechanism involved in the evolution of these arrays is DNA slippage and the evolutionary implications of the observed patterns of variation and extreme levels of heteroplasmy are discussed.
Comparative sensitivity to environmental variation and human disturbance of Asian tapirs (Tapirus indicus) and other wild ungulates in Thailand.
TLDR
Surveys to fill gaps in the understanding of the status in lesser-known protected areas, research to better understand the fine-scale environmental influences on behavior and habitats of tapirs, and other forest ungulates, and continued legal status for tapirs in the highest category of protection are recommended.
The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the white rhinoceros, Ceratotherium simum, and comparison with the mtDNA sequence of the Indian rhinoceros, Rhinoceros unicornis.
TLDR
Comparison between the complete mitochondrial sequences of the white and the Indian rhinoceroses allowed an estimate of the date of the basal evolutionary divergence among extant rhinOCeroses, which suggested that this divergence took place approximately 27 million years before present.
Identification of domestic cattle hybrids in wild cattle and bison species: a general approach using mtDNA markers and the parametric bootstrap
TLDR
A genetic test using the polymerase chain reaction was developed so that wild cattle and bison with domestic cattle mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes could be rapidly identified and the hybrid origin of these mtDNA haplotypes was verified in a phylogenetic analysis using the parametric bootstrap.
Dynamics of mitochondrial DNA evolution in animals: amplification and sequencing with conserved primers.
TLDR
The polymerase chain reaction is used to amplify homologous segments of mtDNA from more than 100 animal species, including mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes, and some invertebrates, and the unexpectedly wide taxonomic utility of these primers offers opportunities for phylogenetic and population research.
Mammalian mitochondrial D-loop region structural analysis: identification of new conserved sequences and their functional and evolutionary implications.
Polymorphic sites and the mechanism of evolution in human mitochondrial DNA.
TLDR
This example, along with that for the mitochondrial rRNA genes and the nuclear genes coding for mitochondrial ribosomal proteins, provides evidence for coevolution between specific nuclear and mitochondrial genes.
