Abstract excerpt

Tissue samples from 160 European hedgehogs, Erinaceus europaeus, representing eight small populations from a highly fragmented landscape in Oxfordshire, UK, were screened for polymorphism at six microsatellite loci. Permutation analysis of allelic compositions revealed no evidence for linkage dis...
