Abstract
NADH diaphorase polymorphism is reported for European fallow deer (D. d. dama) from Coto de Doñana National Park (Spain). Allele frequencies ofp=0.682 (anodic variant) andq=0.318 (cathodic variant) in 110 specimens suggest population genetic usefulness of this biallelic system in an otherwise fairly monomorphic cervid species.
