Mongolian sheep are characteristically cold-tolerant and thus can survive well and maintain
genetic stability in the extremely cold environment of the Mongolian Plateau. However, the …

Simple Summary As a native breed to the Inner Mongolian Plateau (Inner Mongolia, China),
Mongolian sheep are tolerant to cold. However, their cold-adaptive processes, such as the …

The consideration of the descendance is indispensable in the preservation of endangered
animal breeds. The authors compared mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequence …

Starting four decades ago, studies have examined the ecology and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and species using short mitochondrial DNA fragments and stable isotopes …

Simple Summary By the 19th century, adequately producing, independent domestic animal
breeds had developed in many regions around the globe. However, from the middle of the …
