Abstract
Fig trees are keystone resources of tropical forests, which are suffering from a rapid decline. Fig trees are pollinated by species-specific fig wasps. We developed 16 polymorphic microsatellites from Eupristina altissima, the only active pollinator of Ficus altissima. Numbers of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 11. No significant linkage disequilibrium between pairs of loci was found. Four loci were significantly deviated from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in a population sampled from Hainan of China. These polymorphic microsatellite markers would be a useful tool for population genetic studies of E. altissima and coevolution with its host F. altissima.
