note = "Pine voles are assumed to be cooperative breeders that live in extended families. We applied DNA fingerprinting techniques using restriction enzyme AluI and Jeffrey's probe 33.15 to wild-caught pine voles to estimate relatedness among individuals in social groups. Background band-sharing between unrelated individuals revealed a high degree of genetic variation ({\=X} BS ± SD = 0.28 ± 0.09).",
