Spatial heterogeneity in genetic relatedness among house sparrows along an urban-rural gradient as revealed by individual-based analysis.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2011

Vangestel Carl, Mergeay Joachim, Dawson Deborah A, Vandomme Viki, Lens Luc

Abstract excerpt

Understanding factors that shape patterns of kinship in sedentary species is important for evolutionary ecologists as well as conservation biologists. Yet, how patterns of relatedness are hierarchically structured in space remains poorly known, even in common species. Here, we use information from 16 polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers to study how small-scale kinship structure varies among house sparrows...
