Microsatellite markers for the Arctic copepod Calanus glacialis and cross-amplification with C. finmarchicus
Calanus glacialis is a major component of Arctic zooplankton and a keystone species in Arctic marine ecosystems. Due to the observed climate warming, its numbers are being reduced to the advantage of a sibling Atlantic species Calanus finmarchicus. We developed and characterized the first set of mic...

Calanus glacialis is a major component of Arctic zooplankton and a keystone species in Arctic marine ecosystems.

Nine polymorphic loci displayed an average of 7.3 alleles (range between 2 and 13) and the levels of expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.039 to 0.806.
