Article Description

1.1. The detection of genetic variation by starch and polyacrylamide gel-electrophoresis can be applied to the problem of preserving genetic variation in avian species.2.2. Allele frequency data, assessed at 34 structural gene loci, were obtained in order to describe the population genetic structure of Gyps coprotheres.3.3. Measures of variability included percentage polymorphic loci (11.76%) and average heterozygosity (0.021).4.4. Two population simulation programmes were utilised to predict the longevity of the current variability present in this species.5.5. The importance of the preservation of genetic variation in the Cape vulture is discussed.
