Abstract excerpt
The present study characterizes the satellite DNA sequences of three endemic Hawaiian spiders, Tetragnatha acuta, Tetragnatha hawaiensis, and Tetragnatha quasimodo, to test the degree of conservation of these sequences within a closely related group of arthropods. The length and nucleotide composition of repeats of the three species is very similar both at intra- and inter-specific level. However, their...
