Abstract: | We have isolated 11 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the masked flowerpiercer Diglossa cyanea from a genomic library enriched for (AAGG)n repetitive elements. The number of alleles ranged from eight to 16 per locus with the observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.64 to 1.00. These markers will be useful for analysis of questions concerning population genetic structure and models of speciation. |
