Genetic variability in the subterranean rodents Ctenomys australis and Ctenomys porteousi (Rodentia:Octodontidae)

Genetic variation encoded by 31-35 loci was estimated in four populations of subterranean rodent Ctenomys australis and in one population of C. porteousi. Estimates of observed heterozygosity per population ranged from 0.00 to 11.18%, and polymorphism from 0.00 to 45.00%. These results were compared...
