Isolation and Characterization of Microsatellite Markers for the Sable, Martes zibellina (Mammalia: Mustelidae)

Genetic differentiation of autochthonous sable populations in Western and Eastern Siberia

“…All the samples were genotyped at 11 microsatellite loci (Table ). The sets of primers were chosen on the basis of already known microsatellite loci in the sable: Mzf51 and Mzf56 (Zhu et al, 2017); Martes americana and Gulo gulo Ma1 , Ma3 , Ma8 , Ma15 , and Ma19 (Davis & Strobeck, 1998); Martes foina Mf8 . 7 and Mf8 .…”

“…All the samples were genotyped at 11 microsatellite loci (Table S1). The sets of primers were chosen on the basis of already known microsatellite loci in the sable: Mzf51 and Mzf56 (Zhu et al, 2017); Martes americana and Gulo gulo Ma1, Ma3, Ma8, Ma15, and Ma19 (Davis & Strobeck, 1998); Mf8.7 and Mf8.8 (Basto et al, 2010); and Neovison vison, Mustela erminea Mvis72 and Mvi2243 (Fleming et al, 1999;Vincent et al, 2003). The allele datasets are presented in Table S2.…”

The Gastrointestinal Parasites and Bacteria Community of Sable (Mates zibellina) in Northeastern China

“…Four species of the Mustela, Martes zibellina (sable), Martes americana (American marten), Martes martes (pine marten), and Martes melampus (Japanese marten) are forest-dwelling carnivores that occur allopatrically in coniferous and deciduous forests in the Holarctic region (Ishida et al, 2013). The sables were widespread in all taiga zoogeographical zones of Eurasia, primarily in Russia from the Ural Mountains throughout Siberia, in northern Mongolia and northeastern China, and on Hokkaido in Japan (Malyarchuk et al, 2014;Li, 2012;Zhu et al, 2017).…”
