Abstract
Brachycybe nodulosa is a fungivorous millipede that distributed in Japan and Korea. This species shows patchy distributions and the exclusive paternal care of eggs, and thus is an important subject for both conservation and evolutionary biology. Thirteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were newly isolated from the taxon. Moderate to high levels of polymorphism were observed, with numbers of alleles ranged from 2 to 10. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.200 to 1.000 and 0.405 to 0.886, respectively. Two loci showed lower heterozygosities than the expectation under HWE. No linkage disequilibrium was detected for any pair of the loci. These new loci will be useful in conservation genetics and evolutionary ecology studies of this species.
