Evaluation of the genetic structure of the breeding Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) population by means of microsatellite markers
Samples of tissues of the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) breeding in Lithuania were collected in the colonies distributed in the basins of the River Nemunas and the River Dauguva located near Kalviai, Kietaviškes, the Nemunas delta, Lazdijai, Kretuonas, Zarasai and Ignalina. By means of 11 primer pair...
