Abstract
The present study reports isolation and characterization of 11 polymorphic microsatellite markers for Nycticorax nycticorax. A total of 82 alleles were detected with an average of 7.5 alleles per locus. The observed heterozygosity (H O) ranged from 0.25 to 1.00, and the expected heterozygosity (H E) ranged from 0.51 to 0.88. Analyses revealed no evidence for Linkage disequilibrium between any two loci, and only one locus was significantly deviated from HWE with the estimation of exact P values by the Markov chain method (P < 0.001). The 11 loci were successfully amplified in 11 other Ardeidae species. These results demonstrate these markers can be used for the study of intra- and inter-specific genetic diversity.
