Dispersal in Mastomys natalensis mice: use of fine-scale genetic analyses for pest management.

Hereditas - 1 Dec 2008

van Hooft Pim, Cosson J F, Vibe-Petersen S, Leirs H

Abstract excerpt

Mastomys natalensis is the major pest rodent in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, population genetic techniques were used to gain new insights into its dispersal behaviour, a critical parameter in pest management. Using 11 microsatellites, 272 individuals from a 300 ha area in Tanzania were genotyped. Genetic diversity was high, with no isolation by distance and little differentiation between field plots far...
