Isolation and characterisation of 14 microsatellites for the New Zealand rock wren Xenicus gilviventris

Fourteen microsatellite loci were isolated and characterised in the threatened New Zealand rock wren (Xenicus gilviventris) using samples from across the species range. Seventy alleles were identified using 14 loci from 65 individuals (2–10 alleles per locus) and expected and observed heterozygositi...

Zusammenfassung:Fourteen microsatellite loci were isolated and characterised in the threatened New Zealand rock wren (Xenicus gilviventris) using samples from across the species range. Seventy alleles were identified using 14 loci from 65 individuals (2–10 alleles per locus) and expected and observed heterozygosities varied widely between loci. These loci are suitable as markers for assessing the genetic diversity and population structure of rock wren throughout their range.
