| description | Nuclear microsatellite analysis of Cynopterus was aimed at characterising the microsatellite
genotypes and the population structure of this genus especially in the large form of C.
brachyotis and the small form of C. brachyotis. Nine pairs of existing microsatellite primers
isolated from Indian C. sphinx were used. A total of 51 alleles and 97 genotypes were
documented from four forms of Cynopterus. Genetic variations revealed from AMOVA
analysis showed that there was low genetic variation among the four forms. The interspecies
Global AMOVA comparison analysis showed that the genetic variation between the large
and small forms of C. brachyotis was the lowest among interspecies comparisons. This
resulted in low genetic structure in the UPGMA tree, and species boundary of each form
was not clearly defined. This might due to the microsatellite primers that were isolated from
Indian C. sphinx being low in sensitivity to detect variations in Malaysian cynopterans. |
