Genetic consequences of a demographic bottleneck in the Scandinavian arctic fox (2006, background): “…wolf, wolverine, lynx and brown bear populations display very low mtDNA variability (1 /2 haplotypes), which most likely is a result of their colonisation history rather than recent reductions in population size (Waits et al. 2000, Walker et al. 2001, Hellborg et al. 2002, Flagstad et al. 2003).”
Complete mitochondrial genomes and a novel spatial genetic method reveal cryptic phylogeographical structure and migration patterns among brown bears in north‐western Eurasia (2013, methodology): “those exhibiting low mtDNA diversity (e.g. Eurasian lynx; Hellborg et al., 2002).”
Status and conservation of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in Europe in 2001 (2004, background): “There might have been only 100 animals left, maybe even less (HELLBORG et al. 2002).”
Genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation and loss: the case of the Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) (2007, background): “mountain lions (FST = 0.01‐0.37, RST = 0.01‐0.42): (Ernest et al. 2003) wolverines (FST = 0.01‐0.21; (Kyle and Strobeck 2001; Walker et al. 2001) lynx (FST = 0.01‐0.29; ( Hellborg et al. 2002; Schwartz et al. 2002).”
