Abstract excerpt
A new polymerase chain reaction-based screening method for microsatellites is presented. Using this method, we isolated 12 microsatellite loci from Drosophila buzzatii, two of which were X-linked. We applied the other 10 microsatellite loci to the analysis of genetic variation in five natural populations of D. buzzatii. Two populations were from the species' original distribution in Argentina, whereas the other...
