Pacific Rim Population Structure of Chinook Salmon as Determined from Microsatellite Analysis (2006, background): “Approximately 30 alleles per locus were observed in our study, which is well in excess of the 6–10 microsatellite alleles recommended by Bernatchez and Duchesne (2000) for population assignment studies and well above the number of alleles observed at allozyme or single nucleotide polymorphism loci”
Quantifying larval retention and connectivity in marine populations with artificial and natural markers (2002, background): “%) probability (Bernatchez and Duchesne, 2000), this level of accuracy may still be insufficient to resolve questions of connectivity where only low to modest levels of migrations are expected.”
Estimation of Stock Composition and Individual Identification of Chinook Salmon across the Pacific Rim by Use of Microsatellite Variation (2006, background): “There has been a lack of consensus about the choice of loci with the appropriate number of alleles for surveys of population differentiation (Smouse and Chevillon 1998; Bernatchez and Duchesne 2000; Kalinowski 2002).”
