New polymorphic microsatellite markers for California sea lions ( Zalophus californianus)

Abstract Nine microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from California sea lions ( Zalophus californianus ). In addition, two of five loci tested from harbour seal ( Phoca vitulina ) produced a single, clear band in Z. californianus , as did one out of five loci from grey seal ( Halichoer...

Description
Summary:Abstract Nine microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from California sea lions ( Zalophus californianus ). In addition, two of five loci tested from harbour seal ( Phoca vitulina ) produced a single, clear band in Z. californianus , as did one out of five loci from grey seal ( Halichoerus grypus ) and one out of two loci from elephant seal ( Mirounga sp.). No locus tested from South American fur seal ( Arctocephalus australis ) amplified in Z. californianus . Locus variability was assessed in California sea lions from Los Islotes rookery, Baja California Sur, Mexico. All loci were variable, with allele numbers ranging from three to 12.
