Ex situ conservation genetics: a review of molecular studies on the genetic consequences of captive breeding programmes for endangered animal species (2011, methodology): “Possible pitfalls of microsatellite analyses have been treated elsewhere (e.g. Birnbaum and Rosenbaum 2002; Selkoe and Toonen 2006).”
Hamilton's legacy: kinship, cooperation and social tolerance in mammalian groups (2014, background): “Microsatellites, segments of DNA with very short repeated sequence motifs, have proved invaluable in alleviating many of the historical constraints of kin selection studies (reviewed by: Pemberton, 2008; Queller, Strassmann, & Hughes, 1993; Selkoe & Toonen, 2006).”
Identifying future research needs in landscape genetics: where to from here? (2009, background): “Co-dominant nuclear microsatellites (= simple sequence repeats, SSRs; Selkoe and Toonen 2006) or dominant amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs; Meudt and Clarke 2007) are currently the most widely used nuclear markers, but technical development may soon replace them with single-nucleotide…”
Global warming will affect the genetic diversity and uniqueness of Lycaena helle populations (2011, methodology): “Distortions of our results obtained by microsatellites through stutter bands, large allele dropout or null alleles (cf. Selkoe & Toonen, 2006) were tested using the programme Micro-Checker (Van Oosterhout et al., 2004).”
Molecular ecology of marine turtles: New approaches and future directions (2008, methodology): “, 2001), and using alternative approaches to analysis (Section 5), but many deem that it is most effective to increase the number of loci (Pearse and Crandall, 2004; Kalinowski, 2005; Selkoe and Toonen, 2006).”
Evolution of plant materials for ecological restoration: insights from the applied and basic literature (2017, methodology): “Numerous practical guides describe how to conduct an assessment of neutral genetic variation in wild and restoration populations of interest (Henry 2006; Selkoe & Toonen 2006; Newton 2007); DNA extracted from plant tissue is then sent to a genomics facility for processing at Published 2016.”
Advances in the Application of Genetics in Marine Turtle Biology and Conservation (2017, background): “With many alleles at each locus, nuclear microsatellites can be employed for applications such as individual and familial genotyping (Selkoe and Toonen, 2006).”
No rest for the laurels: symbiotic invaders cause unprecedented damage to southern USA forests (2017, background): “In addition, simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci can be highly variable and phylogenetically informative (Selkoe and Toonen 2006).”
Methods for Development of Microsatellite Markers: An Overview (2014, positive): “Among the different types of SSRs, dinucleotide, trinucleotide and tetranucleotide repeats are most frequently used in molecular genetic studies (Selkoe and Toonen, 2006).”
Footprints on water: the genetic wake of dispersal among reefs (2007, background): “Other genetic markers, microsatellites (Selkoe and Toonen 2006) have also been developed for corals (e.g., Shearer and CoVroth 2004; Baums et al. 2005a, b; Maier et al. 2005) and have been used more generally to expose subdivision among reef inhabitants with broad pelagic larval dispersal.”
Aquatic insects in a sea of desert: population genetic structure is shaped by limited dispersal in a naturally fragmented landscape (2013, result): “First, deviations from HWE (homozygote excess) were common among our samples and may have biased our results (Selkoe and Toonen 2006).”
Current trends in microsatellite genotyping (2011, background): “…(Tautz & Schlötterer 1994; Jarne & Lagoda 1996; Schlötterer 1998; Chambers & MacAvoy 2000; Li et al. 2002; Dieringer & Schlötterer 2003; Ellegren 2004; Buschiazzo & Gemmell 2006; Chistiakov et al. 2006; Oliveira et al. 2006; Selkoe & Toonen 2006; Subirana & Messeguer 2008; Sun et al. 2009).”
PopGenReport: simplifying basic population genetic analyses in R (2014, methodology): “Microsatellite genetic markers are an important and widely used tool for answering questions about populations and individuals (Hartl & Clark 1997; Selkoe & Toonen 2006; Blanchet 2012) in ﬁelds including ecology, agriculture and forensic sciences among others.”
Maximising the contribution of native‐range studies towards the identification and prioritisation of weed biocontrol agents (2006, background): “Common genes to sequence and their relative rates of evolution are shown in Table 1 (Cruzan 1998; Selkoe & Toonen 2006; PJ DeBarro, pers. comm. 2004).”
