Microsatellite diversity and fitness in stranded juvenile harp seals (Phoca groenlandica).

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

A positive relationship between genetic diversity at neutral markers and juvenile survival has been demonstrated for many vertebrate populations, although the correlation is typically weak and the explanation for it remains controversial. We assessed variation at 9-12 microsatellite loci in 65 juvenile harp seals (Phoca groenlandica) that stranded in poor condition around Long Island, NY, from 2001 to 2004....
