Isolation and characterization of 20 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the dark sleeper (Odontobutis yaluensis)
Twenty polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for Odontobutis yaluensis. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 7, and the observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity ra...

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the endangered Amur ratsnake Elaphe schrenckii (Reptilia; Squamata; Colubridae) from China
Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci are described for the endangered Amur ratsnake, Elaphe schrenckii (Colubridae). Loci were screened in 31 unrelated individuals of E. schrenckii collected from Liaoning Provin...

Twenty-nine polymorphic microsatellite loci in Cyclura carinata, the Turks and Caicos Iguana, a critically endangered island endemic
Cyclura carinata, a critically endangered Caribbean rock iguana, now occupies less than 5% of its historic range. Remaining populations are genetically structured, but available tools are insufficient to identify...

Eleven polymorphic microsatellite loci in Polygonatum filipes and cross-amplification in other congeneric species
Eleven polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from Polygonatum filipes, a plant endemic to China. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 7. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from ...

Isolation and characterization of twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci in Polygonatum cyrtonema and cross-species amplification
Twelve novel microsatellite loci were isolated in a perennial herb, Polygonatum cyrtonema. The polymorphism of each locus was analyzed by screening 23 individuals from a natural population. The number of alleles ...

PCR primers for microsatellite loci in a Madagascan waterbird, the Sakalava Rail (Amaurornis olivieri)
We isolated 76 microsatellite loci from the Sakalava rail (Amaurornis olivieri) genome. These were tested in 30 individuals from six sites (in three regions) across the species’ range in Madagascar. Thirty-four o...

Multiple-scaled spatial genetic structures of Fraxinus mandshurica over a riparian–mountain landscape in Northeast China
Landscape genetics increasingly focuses on the way in which landscape features cause the fragmentation of lineages of terrestrial organisms. However, landscape features can also provide functional connectivity...

Development of twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci in polyploid endangered Omphalogramma vincaeflora Franch. (Primulaceae)
A total of twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from polyploid endangered species, Omphalogramma vincaeflora (Primulaceae). These loci were screened for variability among 45 individuals from thre...

Eighteen novel polymorphic microsatellite loci developed from the Père David’s deer (Elaphurus davidianus)
Père David’s deer is a severely bottlenecked species but without showing inbreeding depression, making it essential to develop molecular markers to explore her genetic mechanism of population recovery. In this...
