We focus on the effect of different hunting management (high protected reserves, National Park and managed hunting area) on wild boar (Sus scrofa) population in Italy, using genetic markers. Genetic analyses were carried out on a 300-bp of the mtDNA in 140 samples and 800 GenBank sequences. We analyzed levels of molecular diversity and the mismatch distributions for each population from management hunting areas. Sixteen haplotypes were identified in the wild boar data set, belonging to the Italian, European and Asiatic clades. Intriguingly, the high protected reserves show a single Italian haplotype, while the other two areas show a similar genetic pattern with high genetic diversity and variability. In these latter the signature of past reinforcement was evident. In the National Park poaching may be responsible for the impoverishment of autochthonous (Italian) haplotypes.
