Abstract excerpt
We describe the isolation and genetic characterization of eight microsatellite DNA loci from the northern water snake, Nerodia sipedon sipedon and use these loci to analyse levels of genetic differentiation between local (< 2 km apart) populations of these snakes in Ontario. These loci are variable, with expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.28 to 0.91, and can correctly exclude nonsires in parentage analyses...
