Complete nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b , tRNAproline and tRNA threonine genes of the eight extant species of ursids, as well as 166 brown bears (Ursus arctos L.) from 10 geographic regions of Alaska and elsewhere, are used to generate hypotheses about phylogenetic relationships among ursids and phylogeographic relationships among brown bears. Additional data were obtained from mitochondrial DNA control region from over 200 brown bears among 14 populations in Alaska, to assess structuring among brown bears. Phylogenetic analyses indicate the giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca ) and spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornata ) represent basal extant taxa. Ursines, including the sun bear (Helarctos...
