Mitochondrial sequences reveal a clear separation between Angolan and South African giraffe along a cryptic rift valley
BACKGROUND: The current taxonomy of the African giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is primarily based on pelage pattern and geographic distribution, and nine subspecies are currently recognized. Although genetic studies have been conducted, their resolution is low, mainly due to limited sampling. Deta...
