Abstract
The article provides data on allelic and genotypic diversity of Ukrainian and Armenian populations of a parthenogenetic lizard of Darevskia armeniaca. The individual genotypes of studied specimens were established due to combination of alleles of three microsatellite loci. It is supposed that in the introduced Ukrainian population after the invasion two new genotypes appeared. Molecular mechanisms of the emergence of these new genotypes are suggested. Values of observed heterozygosity and genetic Fst-distances for the introduced Ukrainian population, native Armenian population and group of other Armenian populations are provided.
