PhylogeneticC Study of Donkeys in Croatia

Results of the analysis of phenotype features, of polymorph blood proteins, microsatellite loci and mtDNA clearly indicate the justification of division of the total donkey population into three subpopulations. The degree of difference of noticed mtDNA haplotypes indicates their significant phylogenetic distance. Regarding their phylogenetic relation, geographical distance and small effective size of populations of the North Adriatic and Istrian donkey and for their efficient preservation, they have to be protected and developed as a unique population. Although the population of the Littoral Dinaric donkey has not been critically endangered, it has to be constantly supervised within the adequate programme of protection.
