Characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in Castelnau's Antshrike, Thamnophilus cryptoleucus (Aves : Thamnophilidae)

摘要

In order to study the biogeography and population genetic structure of the obligate river-island species Thamnophilus cryptoleucus (Thamnophilidae) we isolated four microsatellite loci. Number of alleles ranged from six to 11, heterozygosities from 60% to 89%, and individual populations were found in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Cross-species amplification of the loci was tested in eight species of the family Thamnophilidae and all loci successfully amplified in five or more related species.
