Novel microsatellite markers reveal low genetic diversity and evidence of heterospecific introgression in the critically endangered Chinese Crested Tern (Thalasseus bernsteini)

Novel microsatellite markers reveal low genetic diversity and evidence of heterospecific introgression in the critically endangered Chinese Crested Tern (Thalasseus bernsteini)

The Chinese Crested Tern, Thalasseus bernsteini, is one of the most endangered seabird species in the world, with only small breeding populations of around 100 individuals. To profile the genetic properties of this population, we screened 200 short tandem repeat sequences from a de novo assembled ge...
