Cross‐species transfer of nuclear microsatellite markers: potential and limitations
- T. Barbará, C. Palma-Silva, G. M. Paggi, F. Bered, M. Fay, C. Lexer
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 September 2007
Molecular ecologists increasingly require ‘universal’ genetic markers that can easily be transferred between species. The distribution of cross‐species transferability of nuclear microsatellite loci… Expand
Population differentiation and species cohesion in two closely related plants adapted to neotropical high‐altitude ‘inselbergs’, Alcantarea imperialis and Alcantarea geniculata (Bromeliaceae)

- 1 May 2007
Isolated granitic rock outcrops or ‘inselbergs’ may provide a window into the molecular ecology and genetics of continental radiations under simplified conditions, in analogy to the use of oceanic… Expand
Sympatric bromeliad species (Pitcairnia spp.) facilitate tests of mechanisms involved in species cohesion and reproductive isolation in Neotropical inselbergs

- Biology, Medicine
- Heredity
- 9 September 2009
The processes that have shaped the extraordinary species diversity in neotropical rainforests are poorly understood, and knowledge about the patterns of genetic diversity across species' ranges is… Expand
A set of polymorphic microsatellite loci for Vriesea gigantea and Alcantarea imperialis (Bromeliaceae) and cross-amplification in other bromeliad species

- Biology
- 1 July 2007
Fifteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized in two species of Bromeliaceae: Vriesea gigantea and Alcantarea imperialis . The number of alleles observed for each locus… Expand

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) adapted to rock outcrops or 'inselbergs' in neotropical rain forests have been identified as suitable plant models for studying population divergence and… Expand
Identifying the generic limits of the Cheilanthoid genus Doryopteris
