Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have examined germ-line mutations to infer the processes that generate and maintain variability in microsatellite loci. Few studies, however, have examined patterns to infer processes that act on microsatellite loci over evolutionary time. Here, we examine changes in 8 dinucleotide loci across the adaptive radiation of Hawaiian honeycreepers. The loci were found to be highly variable across the...
