Microsatellite variation in ringed seals (Phoca hispida): genetic structure and history of the Baltic Sea population.

Heredity - 1 May 2001

Palo J U, Mäkinen H S, Helle E, Stenman O, Väinölä R

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variability and population structure of Baltic ringed seals and an Arctic reference population were assessed using eight microsatellite loci. Ringed seals colonized the Baltic Sea basin soon after deglaciation 11 500 years ago and are supposed to have remained largely isolated from the main Arctic stock since then, approximately 1000 generations. In the 1900s the Baltic population declined rapidly, and is...
