  abstract = {{H}istorical records indicate that 12 rusa deer ({C}ervus timorensis russa) were introduced in {N}ew-{C}aledonia during the 1870s. {W}e used eight polymorphic microsatellite {DNA} loci to assess the genetic differentiation and diversity of farmed and wild deer populations. {P}ast genetic bottlenecks were detected in both sub-populations, although higher genetic diversity was maintained in farmed populations, probably due to the regular introduction of reproducers from wild populations and from other farms. {T}he genetic structure of farmed and wild populations differed significantly. {T}here was a significant isolation by distance for wild populations, whereas farmed populations were significantly differentiated between farms independently from their geographical proximity. {W}ild rusa deer consisted of small populations (with effective population sizes ranging between 7 and 19 individuals depending on the methods used), with a low parent-offspring dispersion range (0.20-2.02 km). {G}enetic tools and direct observations provided congruent estimates of dispersion and population sizes. {W}e discuss the relevance of our results for management purposes.},
