Abstract:

Seven putative triploid hybrid lizards Darevskia were genotyped based on the Du215 microsatellite locus. The alleles of this locus were identified and sequenced in these individuals. It was found that 5 out of seven individuals are triploid hybrids of Darevskia unisexualis x D. valentini, each containing two alleles of the D. unisexualis parthenospecies and one allele of D. valentini. The other two individuals were heterozygous at this locus and contained only alleles of the bisexual species D. valentini.
