Abstract
This study presents the characterization of a series of 10 microsatellite loci developed for the funnel-eared bat Natalus mexicanus. A total of 35 pairs of primers, in 32 exemplars of N. mexicanus collected at two localities in Mexico, were selected by pyrosequencing for testing via cross-amplification in other bat species (Corynorhinus townsendii, Natalus major, Natalus tumidirostris, Nyctinomops laticaudatus and Tadarida brasiliensis). All 10 loci of this species amplified positively with medium and high resolution of genetic variation (2–15 alleles per locus, mean HE 0.7217, mean HO 0.6074). We consider that these polymorphic loci will be useful in genetic studies of this species as well as that of other bat families.
