Abstract
- We have isolated 16 microsatellite loci in the field cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus. Nine loci were found to be polymorphic in G. bimaculatus and the number of alleles varied from seven to 14. All 16 loci were tested for amplification in nine other species. In the five species tested belonging to the same subfamily (Gryllinae), a minimum of nine loci amplified. These loci will be used to determine paternity as part of a study to investigate the genetic benefits of polyandry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
