Abstract
The seaside sparrow (Ammodramus maritimus; SESP) includes seven extant subspecies ranging from the northeastern coast of the United States to the Gulf of Mexico. Genetic diversity of SESP may be impacted since coastal marsh habitats are highly fragmented, thereby limiting gene flow among adjacent populations. Genetic analysis of SESP populations will provide insight for development of conservation and management strategies for the species. We describe development and characterization of 11 novel microsatellite markers for SESP. These loci will be useful for individual identification as well as studies of fine-scale genetic relatedness within populations and subspecies of SESP.
