Assessing the origin, genetic structure and demographic history of the common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) in the introduced European range
Abstract The common pheasant, a game species widely introduced throughout the world, can be considered as an ideal model to study the effects of introduction events on local adaptations, biogeographic patterns, and genetic divergence processes. We aimed to assess the origin, spatial patterns of gene...
