Pan-African genetic structure in the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer): investigating intraspecific divergence.

Pan-African genetic structure in the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer): investigating intraspecific divergence.

The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) exhibits extreme morphological variability, which has led to controversies about the validity and taxonomic status of the various recognized subspecies. The present study aims to clarify these by inferring the pan-African spatial distribution of genetic diversit...
