Isolation and characterization of eight polymorphic microsatellite markers from South American limpets of the Nacella species complex
In this study we provide eight polymorphic microsatellite markers for the two South American patel- logastropods Nacella magellanica and N. deaurata. Allelic diversity ranged from 5 to 57 alleles per locus. Observed heterozygosity varied between 0.1 and 0.98. Three of the four loci designed for N. magellanica cross-amplified also with N. deaurata, and two loci vice versa. Six of the microsatellites successfully cross-amplified with the sister taxon N. mytilina. This set of microsatellites provides a suitable tool for population genetic and phylogeographic studies
