First microsatellite markers for the European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) and their application in analysis of parentage and genetic diversity

Abstract The European Robin is a small passerine bird associated with woodlands of Eurasia and North Africa. Despite being relatively widespread and common, little is known of the species’ breeding biology and genetic diversity. We used Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to develop and characterize mi...
