Abstract: Many wild ungulate populations are endangered, thus conservation of the genetic diversity in those wild ungulate populations has become an important issue in conservation biology. Recently developments in molecular biology, such as quantitative genetic analysis, protein electrophoresis,RFLPs, PAPDs,small-satellite and microsatellite technology,have been applied to assay genetic diversity in animal population. Those methods differ in scopes of studying objectives and analysis costs. Thus, before carrying out research on genetic diversity,careful planning is needed for choosing a suitable method.

摘要： 研究和保护遗传多样性成为野生偶蹄类动物保护生物学的重要课题。目前测定遗传多样性的技术主要有：数量性状的遗传分析，蛋白电泳多样性和以DNA为遗传标记等一系列测定方法。这些方法基于不同的原理，其操作的难易、耗费的时间精力以及数据所能说明的问题有一定差别。因此研究偶蹄类动物遗传多样性应选择适宜的技术方法。
