A set of polymorphic loci was characterised using an enrichment library for the Australian alpine specialist, the chameleon grasshopper (Kosciuscola tristis), an atypical grasshopper known for its remarkable temperature-controlled colour change. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 20 and observed heterozygosity from 0.16 to 0.76. These are the first microsatellite markers for a non-endangered Australian alpine animal and will inform questions of gene flow across the sky islands of this unique and threatened region.
利用一个富集文库对澳大利亚高山特有物种——变色龙蚱蜢(Kosciuscola tristis)的一组多态性位点进行了表征,这是一种非典型蚱蜢,以其显著的温度控制颜色变化而闻名。每个位点的等位基因数量从3个到20个不等,观察到的杂合度从0.16到0.76。这些是首个针对非濒危澳大利亚高山动物的微卫星标记,将为有关这个独特且受威胁地区的天空岛屿间基因流动的问题提供信息。
