The aim of this study was to estimate and to compare genetic diversity of the native Primorian and of the introduced Czech populations of Dybowski's sika deer (Cervus nippon hortulorum) using 13 microsatellite markers. High level of genetic differentiation found between both populations, and not detected previously using mtDNA markers, could be a result of long-time segregation, small number of founding individuals of the introduced Czech population, and/or genetic drift in the Primorian population during its population decline. High level of Ho, number of private alleles and unverified recent bottleneck could indicate that both populations are not completely isolated and contain genes from immigrants from other populations. Crossbreeding with Manchurian/European red deer or with other sika deer subspecies seems to be possible and has to be verified by analysing genetic structure and diversity of all these populations together.
