Abstract
This article documents the addition of 92 microsatellite marker loci to the Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for the following species: Anopheles minimus, An. sinensis, An. dirus, Calephelis mutica, Lutjanus kasmira, Murella muralis and Orchestia montagui. These loci were cross-tested on the following species: Calephelis arizonensi, Calephelis borealis, Calephelis nemesis, Calephelis virginiensis and Lutjanus bengalensis.
Highlights
Existing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the West Indian Ocean (WIO) remain insufficient as a whole for the protection of marine reef diversity (Mora et al 2006)
For a real efficiency to preserve biodiversity, each MPA have to be integrated in a dense network of connected MPAs
An effort is needed to collect genetic data in the SWIO in order to provide an idea of marine species connectivity necessary for a regional management of marine biodiversity
Summary
Isolation and characterization of thirteen polymorphic microsatellite markers from the bluestriped snappers Lutjanus kasmira and L. Abstract : Thirteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from the reef fish L. kasmira. Polymorphism ranged from two to 16 alleles and loci are characterized by high variability. Two of these loci were characterized by highly significant heterozygote deficiencies for both populations and they should be avoided in future studies. Eleven of these markers could be used to study population structure and connectivity of this species in a context of marine biodiversity conservation. Cross-amplification was tested for an other bluestriped snapper Lutjanus bengalensis and at least 5 of the 13 loci developed for L. kasmira could be used for this other bluestripped snapper
