Abstract

The paper presents the results of microsatellite genotyping of hybrid lizards D. armeniaca × D. valentini from sympatric populations of Armenia. Triploid individuals were identified based on the totality of the Du281 and Du47G loci and their origin was determined. It was shown that the hybrids contain both alleles of the maternal parthenospecies D. armeniaca and alleles of the paternal species D. valentini.
