The colonization of Scottish islands by the common shrew, Sorex araneus (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae)

2008-08-01

Abstract excerpt

In this paper we apply molecular methods to study the colonization of islands off the west coast of Scotland by the common shrew (Sorex araneus L.), and current gene flow. We collected 497 individuals from 13 islands of the Inner Hebrides and Clyde Island groups and six mainland regions. Individuals were genotyped at eight microsatellite loci, and the mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence (1140 base pairs) was obtai...
