Microsatellite analysis of population structure in Canadian polar bears | EndNote Click

Tags

Top Highlights

• microsatellite markers used in this study detect high levels of genetic variation

• microsatellite markers used in this study detect high levels of genetic variation

• microsatellite markers used in this study detect high levels of genetic variatio

• eterozygosity over 60% in each popula- tion.

• The Gtest unequivocally dem- onstrates that polar bear populations across their Cana- dian distribution are not genetically homogeneou

• his measure of popula- tion structure was chosen over statistics such as F,be- cause the latter provide a single measure which contains no information about how any pair of populations com- pare to one another.
