Polymorphic microsatellite loci for the Balearic Island Lizard Podarcis lilfordi (Squamata: Lacertidae)

Fifteen microsatellite loci are described for the lizard Podarcis lilfordi from the Balearic Islands. Loci were isolated from partial genomic libraries that had been enriched for AAAG and ACAG repeat sequence. All loci were highly polymorphic (six to 19 alleles) in a sample of 26 individuals from th...

Description
Summary:Fifteen microsatellite loci are described for the lizard Podarcis lilfordi from the Balearic Islands. Loci were isolated from partial genomic libraries that had been enriched for AAAG and ACAG repeat sequence. All loci were highly polymorphic (six to 19 alleles) in a sample of 26 individuals from the island of Dragonera. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.46 to 0.92 and 0.78 to 0.95, respectively. These loci will be used to study the evolutionary history of different forms, the occurrence of cross-islet introductions, and the validity of subspecific designations in this species .
