Microsatellites possess two major advantages over allozymes, RFLPs and minisatellites as a source of informative genetic markers. First, their amplification by PCR avoids the need for direct assaying of high quality DNA allowing the use of feathers and degraded material where appropriate, and secondly the resolution of PCR products on polyacrylamide gels clearly differentiates all alleles that differ in length. Hence microsatellites can be used to expand the scope and precision of population studies initiated with less sensitive marker systems (Queller et n l . 1993). We report here the isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the house sparrow for demographic and population genetic use. Both allozymes (Wetton et al. 1992) and multilocus DNA fingerprinting (Wetton et al. 1987; Wetton & Parkin 1991) have been used to determine the frequency of extra-pair fertilization in sparrows whilst the extra-pair sires have been identified by minisatellite single-locus profiling (Wetton ef al. 1995). Although capable of detecting all cases of incorrectly assigned paternity among sampled young, the surveys could take no account of the effect of differential mortality upon cuckolded broods as sampling was delayed until near fledging in order to obtain blood without harming the young. The study was also hampered by the quasi-continuous size distribution observed at minisatellite loci, which necessitated direct comparison of multilocus fingerprints on the same gel or wide error limits when matching single-locus profiles between gels. The problem is even more serious for inter-population studies as the standard methods of population genetics are rendered inappropriate by the extreme difficulty of estimating allele frequenaes at highly polymorphic minisatellite loci. These problems have been largely circumvented with microsatellites. House sparrow genomic libraries were established in DH5a (Gibco BRL) and XL-1 Blue MRF' (Stratagene) transformed with size fractionated (0.6-1 kb) MboI fragments
