Fifteen microsatellite loci characterized in the golden eagle Aquila chrysaetos (Accipitridae, Aves)
Abstract Polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified in order to study golden eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ) population fragmentation. Twenty‐six published Aquila and eight published Haliaeetus microsatellite loci were tested for polymorphism in A. chrysaetos . Fifteen loci were polymorphic with be...

| Summary: | Abstract Polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified in order to study golden eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ) population fragmentation. Twenty‐six published Aquila and eight published Haliaeetus microsatellite loci were tested for polymorphism in A. chrysaetos . Fifteen loci were polymorphic with between two and six alleles detected per locus. Observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.15 to 0.77 among 177 unrelated individuals from Scotland. There was no evidence for null alleles. Two pairs of loci ( Hal ‐10 & Aa 15 and Hal ‐10 & Aa 26) displayed linkage disequilibrium. |
