Assessment of 17 new whiskered auklet ( Aethia pygmaea ) microsatellite loci in 42 seabirds identifies 5–15 polymorphic markers for each of nine Alcinae species (2005)
Journal Article
polymorphic markers for each of nine Alcinae species. Molecular ecology notes (Print), 5, 289-297. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-8286.2005.00906.x

We isolated 17 microsatellite loci in the whiskered auklet ( Aethia pygmaea ) and tested them for amplification in 48 species from 13 seabird families (including 42 seabirds). Fifteen of these loci were also tested for polymorphism in 38 of the s...

Contemporary gene flow and the spatio-temporal genetic structure of subdivided newt populations (Triturus cristatus, T. marmoratus) (2005)
Journal Article
of subdivided newt populations (Triturus cristatus, T. marmoratus). Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 18, 619-628. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2004.00864.x

Gene flow and drift shape the distribution of neutral genetic diversity in metapopulations, but their local rates are difficult to quantify. To identify gene flow between demes as distinct from individual migration, we present a modified Bayesian...

Delineating fine-scale genetic units in amphibians: probing the primacy of ponds (2005)
Journal Article
probing the primacy of ponds. Conservation Genetics, 6, 227-234. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-004-7832-8

The population structure of pond-breeding amphibians is shaped by their distinct breeding foci, but it is unclear to what extent this is reflected in the fine-scale distribution of genetic diversity. We used microsatellite genotypes to investigate... Read More about Delineating fine-scale genetic units in amphibians: probing the primacy of ponds.
