Abstract

Eight microsatellite markers were developed
via pyrosequencing of a microsatellite-enriched library for
the African Penguin (Spheniscus demersus). These microsatellite loci displayed 2–6 alleles with expected heterozygosity values ranging between 0.316 and 0.782 and
observed heterozygosity between 0.381 and 0.84. These
loci may be suitable for assessing patterns of genetic variability in African penguin. This is the first development of
species-specific markers for the African penguin.
