- Abstract
The article presents the results of cross-amplification of 63 microsatellite loci, originally developed for Xiphorus, tested in the Amazon molly and its two parental species P. mexicana and P. latipinna. It showed that the over all cross-species amplification was reasonably high in all species. In most microsatellite loci, the sexual species also showed more alleles and genotypes than the asexuals.
