Multiple paternity and sperm storage in captive Hermann's tortoises, Testudo hermanni boettgeri determined from amniotic fluid adhering to the eggshell.

Abstract excerpt

We identified multiple paternity in 52.9% of the clutches of Hermann's tortoise Testudo hermanni boettgeri using polymorphic microsatellite markers. In addition we demonstrated sperm storage across seasons. DNA was extracted from the amniotic fluid adhering to the eggshell's inner surface, a procedure suitable for easy, non-invasive DNA sampling in conservation and breeding programs. To improve the informative...
