Novel and cross-species microsatellite markers for parentage analysis in Sanderling Calidris alba

Abstract We isolated and tested six novel microsatellite loci in Sanderling (Calidris alba) from Greenland for paternity analyses. In addition, we tested 11 already published microsatellite markers which were originally developed for the congeneric species, the Pectoral Sandpiper (C. melanotos). All...
