Isolation and characterization of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci for Natterer’s bat, Myotis nattereri (Vespertilionidae, Chiroptera)

Eight new microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the Natterer’s bat Myotis nattereri from a microsatellite-enriched genomic library. The usefulness of these markers was assessed by screening a sample comprising 100 specimens collected from throughout the species range in Europe. Bot...

Description
Summary:Eight new microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the Natterer’s bat Myotis nattereri from a microsatellite-enriched genomic library. The usefulness of these markers was assessed by screening a sample comprising 100 specimens collected from throughout the species range in Europe. Both moderately and highly polymorphic loci were identified with 3–17 alleles segregating per locus (mean 8.1 SE ± 0.048). No evidence for departure from HWE or linkage disequilibrium among loci was observed. These markers will provide a valuable addition to the molecular toolbox currently available for studies of population genetic structure, parentage and social organisation of M. nattereri and related species.
