Abstract excerpt
We isolated and characterized two microsatellite markers from the genome of the endangered checkerspot butterfly Melitaea cinxia L. In Finland, this species only survives on the Aland islands, where it exhibits a highly fragmented metapopulation structure on small meadows. Four alleles were observed at the locus CINX1 and nine at CINX4; the total gene diversities at the two loci were HT = 0.34 and 0.80,...
