Overview, Critical Assessment, and Conservation Implications of Koala Distribution and AbundanceNARA Subscribed
Regional and national surveys provide a broadscale description of the koala's present distribution in Australia. A detailed understanding of its distribution is precluded, however, by past and continuing land clearing across large parts of the koala's range. Koala population density increased in some regions during the late 1800s and then declined dramatically in the early 1900s. The decline was associated with habitat loss, h...
Phylogeographic differentiation in the mitochondrial control region in the koala, Phascolarctos cinereus (Goldfuss 1817)NARA Subscribed
The koala, Phascolarctos cinereus , is a geographically widespread species endemic to Australia, with three currently recognized subspecies: P.c. adustus , P.c. cinereus , and P.c. victor . Intraspecific variation in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region was examined in over 200 animals from 16 representative populations throughout the species’ range. Eighteen different haplotypes were defined in the ≈ 860 bp mtDNA cont...
