Sustaining genetic variation in a small population: evidence from the Mauritius kestrel.

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2001

Nichols R A, Bruford M W, Groombridge J J

Abstract excerpt

We obtained measures of genetic diversity in 10 kestrel species at a suite of 12 microsatellite loci. We estimated the relative effective size (Ne) of the species using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach, which jointly estimated the locus specific mutation rates as nuisance parameters. There was surprisingly high genetic diversity found in museum specimens of the Mauritius kestrel. Being an endemic...
