Abstract

We describe the isolation of eight tetranucleotide microsatellie loci from the neotropical Grey-breasted Wood-wren (Aves, Troglodytidae, Henicorhina leucophrys). All loci were variable, with the number of alleles ranging from 6 to 21 and observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.542 to 0.881. These loci were tested and proved to be informative in two populations of Grey-breasted Wood-wren from Colombia. Given the spatial isolation and divergence in song of many wood-wren populations we expect these loci to prove highly useful in conservation genetic studies.
