Balkan chamois ( Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica ) is the southernmost subspecies within the distribution of the genus in Europe. In Greece, which is its marginal area of distribution, the population presents a fragmented pattern. This is the first study that investigates genetic variability and struc...
