Abstract excerpt
Some alleles are inherited more frequently than expected from Mendel's rule. This phenomenon, known as transmission ratio distortion (TRD), is found in a broad variety of taxa, but it is thought to be unusual and occurs at a low frequency in any particular population. Here, we used seven microsatellite markers to search for possible TRD in a wild lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni) population. Among the nine alleles...
