Abstract
Genetic variation in five populations of the Eurasian
badger from Denmark was screened, using the hyper-variable minisatellite
DNA probe 33.15. Very low genetic variability was found within
populations. This lack of variability could be related to the
fragmentation of the Danish landscape which reduces the effective
population size of local populations and the gene flow between different
subpopulations. The present paper discusses the possibility of managing
the Danish badger subpopulations as a metapopulation.
