Cross‐species characterisation of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the giant otter ( Pteronura brasiliensis )
Abstract Nineteen microsatellite loci developed for the Eurasian otter ( Lutra lutra ) and 15 loci developed for the North American river otter ( Lontra canadensis ) were tested for ease of amplification and degree of polymorphism on a set of 20 giant otter ( Pteronura brasiliensis ) faecal samples...

Summary: | Abstract Nineteen microsatellite loci developed for the Eurasian otter ( Lutra lutra ) and 15 loci developed for the North American river otter ( Lontra canadensis ) were tested for ease of amplification and degree of polymorphism on a set of 20 giant otter ( Pteronura brasiliensis ) faecal samples from the Bolivian Amazon basin. Nineteen loci amplified consistently well, with polymorphisms ranging from two to nine alleles and observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.15 to 0.85. |
