Microsatellite loci for paternity analysis in the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)
Many recent studies have employed molecular markers to uncover important aspects of mating systems in teleost fishes. The fathead minnow ( Pimephales promelas ) is a nestbuilding North American… Expand
