摘要: We developed 31 novel, polymorphic microsatellite loci in the marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus), a critically endangered seabird. Variability was tested on 15 individuals from Santa Cruz, California population, with each locus characterized by two to 12 alleles. Observed levels of heterozygosity ranged 0.13 0.93. These provide valuable means assessing population structure and demographic parameters this species, which may be critical its conservation across fragmented habitat.
