Abstract

Mute swan population genetics were investigated from four localities throughout Ireland using protein electrophoresis. Allele frequencies at the EST locus did not differ significantly from previously published values from England and Scotland nor was there a significant spatial or temporal heterogeneity apparent within Ireland. Introduction(s) probably involved a limited number of individuals. -from Authors
