Popis: The high level of genetic variability (NA = 10.2, HO = 0.684, HE = 0.728) and low degree of genetic differentiation (FST = 0.011) of the common crane (Grus grus L.) from different parts of its range was established during the study of ten polymorphic microsatellite loci (Gram-22, Gram-30, Gpa-12, Gpa-38, Gpa-39, Gj-M15, Gj-M34, Gj-4066, Gj-8077, and Gj-2298). Disputed western (G. g. grus) and eastern (G. g. lilfordi) subspecies in a taxonomic respect are characterized by the same level of genetic diversity. There is no geographical dependence in distribution of multilocus individual genotypes of birds from both subspecies (RXY = 0.017). Despite the low level of differentiation, it is necessary to consider subspecies and local populations of the common crane as separate conservational units. The organization of programs for conservation and monitoring the species gene pool requires a more detailed population genetic analysis using a complex of molecular markers.
