Assessing Evolutionary Significant Units (ESU) of the Endangered Freshwater Pearl Mussel (<i>Margaritifera margaritifera</i>) in Southeast Norway on the Basis of Genetic Analysis

A total of 312 specimens of freshwater pearl mussel (<i>Margaritifera margaritifera</i>) were sampled from 11 populations, located in four different river systems in Southeast Norway, and analyzed for 11 simple sequence repeat (SSR) (microsatellite) markers. All study populations have la...
