Abstract excerpt
The Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique can potentially provide hundreds of polymorphic markers for use by ecologists studying mating systems in natural populations. We consider here the implications of the dominance displayed by RAPD markers for deterministic paternity assignment. Our goal was to provide a means for assessing the costs associated with such a study for ecologists who might be...
