  <dc:description>&lt;p class="chapter-para"&gt;Mitochondrial-DNA restriction-site maps were constructed for several cervid taxa in the subfamilies Cervinae and Odocoileinae. Parsimony analyses of restriction sites and pair-wise analyses of genetic distances resulted in dendrograms congruent with the subfamily designations. Relationships within the Odocoileinae determined from genetic distances generally were concordant with those for nuclear-encoded allozymes and morphology. However, mitochondrial-DNA relationships were incongruent with some generic designations and intraspecific divergence in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Odocoileus hemionus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;was greater than that between some genera. Because mitochondrial DNA exhibits considerable intraspecific variation and is inherited as a single locus, relationships based on mitochondrial DNA may not be concordant with true species phylogenies.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
