Phylogeography and population structure of the saker falcon ( Falco cherrug) and the influence of hybridization: mitochondrial and microsatellite data
Abstract Microsatellite as well as sequence analysis of the mitochondrial control region were applied to infer phylogeography and population genetic structure of the saker falcon ( Falco cherrug ). Furthermore, we compared the patterns of mitochondrial haplotypes with the variation of microsatellite...
