Microsatellite variation in solitary and social tuco-tucos: molecular properties and population dynamics

Article Abstract:

Microsatellite variation in solitary and social tuco-tucos, ctenomyid rodents of Argentina, has been studied with emphasis on molecular properties and population dynamics. The role of microsatellite structure in generating differences was assessed. It appears that structural properties of microsatellite markers may give important insights into the population-level processes underlying the variation. The less social species is Ctenomys haigi and the more social one is C. sociabilis.

Haplotype frequency distribution and discriminatry power of two mtDNA fragments in a marine pelagic teleost (Atlantic herring, Clupea harengus)

Article Abstract:

Haplotype frequency distribution and discriminatory power of two mtDNA fragments has been studied in a marine pelagic teleost, Atlantic herring. Data suggest that the very skewed haplotype distribution of many mtDNA markers may be one of the reasons for the more infrequent detection of population differentiation compared to microsatellites.
