Microsatellite markers for the common vole ( Microtus arvalis ) and their cross-species utility
Fragmentation of natural habitats of the common vole (Microtus arvalis) provides an excellent model system to study the consequences of restricted gene flow and small population sizes for isolated populations. Here we describe the isolation and characteristics of 10 autosomal and one X-linked micros...
