ESTRUCTURA GENÉTICA DE UN GRUPO DE CHIGÜIROS (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, Rodentia) EN LOS LLANOS ORIENTALES COLOMBIANOS

One of the key ecological aspects to define strategies of managing the animal social populations is the size and the social structure of the group. These investigations had as aim identify the genetic structure and intern variability of a group of Chiguiros (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) that share the same geographical space. Genetic structure was evaluated with the population basic statisticians: number of alleles, allele frequency, polymorphisms and heterozygosis. We obtained positive amplification for five of seven studied scoreboards. Of the obtained amplifications we had a variation between 20 and 31 individuals with profiles allelic reliable. The analysis of the profiles allelic shows that a high proportion of individuals exists heterocigotes in the scoreboards Capy24, Capy14 and Capy11, and only a scoreboard (Capy12), it showed high proportion of bond they are in phase of analysis, as the genetic
