Abstract

We characterized twenty unique polymorphic microsatellite loci in the Eurasian stone curlew Burhinus oedicnemus, a bird of conservation concern in Europe. The loci were genotyped in 24 individuals and displayed between 2 and 21 alleles per locus. All twenty loci were autosomal based on the genotyping of individuals of known sex and seventeen loci were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. These microsatellites will be used to investigate population structure in this species with the aim of informing those responsible for creating conservation management strategies.
