title: Genetic differentiation in populations of red deer, Cervus elaphus, in Denmark.
abstract: Samples from 282 specimens of red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) representing eleven localities, were collected during two hunting seasons, 1986-87 and 1987-88. Four polymorphic isozymes are investigated, and allelic distributions among the populations within an area or among areas are heterogeneous. The differentiation among the populations may be explained as a result of random genetic drift. A dendrogram reveals that seven of the nine populations from the peninsula of Jutland are closely related.
