Abstract excerpt
We investigated polymorphism at protein and microsatellite DNA loci in an isolated, unmanaged and cyclic population of Soay sheep on the island of Hirta, St. Kilda. Extensive molecular variation was revealed at both protein loci (mean heterozygosity 7.78 per cent) and microsatellite loci (mean heterozygosity 50.93 per cent). Typically, large mammals possess limited protein variation and we were surprised to...
