Abstract excerpt
In four isolated populations of parthenogenetic Caucasian rock lizard Lacerta unisexualis, variability of (TCC)n loci was examined using multilocus DNA fingerprinting. Unexpectedly high variability of (TCC)n microsatellites was found in all four populations. The mean similarity index was 0.825, which is higher than similarity estimates obtained for other mini- and microsatellite loci in L. unisexualis and...
