Although highly variable loci, such as microsatellite loci, are revolutionizing both
evolutionary and conservation biology, data from these loci need to be carefully evaluated …

Microsatellite variability is widely used to infer levels of genetic diversity in natural
populations. However, the ascertainment bias caused by typically selecting only the most …

抄録< jats: title> Abstract</jats: title>< jats: p> In this chapter we will examine the role that
microsatellite markers have played, and could potentially fulfil in the future, in the emerging …

One of the key issues concerning the application of microsatellite DNA data in evolutionary
studies is how the number of loci applied may influence the stability of genetic distances and …

抄録< jats: title> Abstract</jats: title>< jats: p> Microsatellites, or simple sequences, consist of
tandemly repeated units, each between 1 and 10 bp (base pairs) in length, such as (TG) n or …

The interest to study the effects of inbreeding in natural populations has increased in the last
years. Several microsatellite‐derived metrics have recently been developed to infer …

Geographical fragmentation and small population size cn have manifold effects on the
distribution and content of genetic diversity in endangered populations. In very small …

Microsatellite loci are regions of DNA containing tandem repeats of a short sequence motif;
they occur abundantly in all eukaryotic genomes and have been shown to be a rich source …

Microsatellites are promising genetic markers for studying the demographic structure and
phylogenetic history of populations. We present theoretical arguments indicating that the …

Genetic diversity is necessary for evolutionary response to changing environmental
conditions such as those facing many threatened and endangered species. To investigate …
