| isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers useful for exploring introgression among species in the diverse new zealand cicada genus kikihia. | the new zealand cicada genus kikihia dugdale 1971 exhibits more than 20 contact zones between species pairs that vary widely in their divergence times (between 20,000 and 2 million years) in which some level of hybridization is evident. mitochondrial phylogenies suggest some movement of genes across species boundaries. biparentally inherited and quickly evolving molecular markers like microsatellites are useful for assessing gene flow levels. here, we present six polymorphic microsatellite loci ... | 2015 | 25843582 |
