dc.description.abstract | Penguins (Spheniscidae) represent a monophyletic
group comprised of 17 species (Stonehouse 1975;
Williams 1995). Found exclusively in the Southern
Hemisphere, these flightless diving birds occupy
a wide range of habitats from Antarctica to the
Galápagos Islands (Williams 1995). Currently, ten
species are listed on IUCN’s Red List (BirdLife
International 2000) as either ‘endangered’ or ‘vulnerable’.
Genetic markers would be useful for resolving
issues relevant to the conservation of this group.
The entire Adélie penguin mitochondrial (mt) DNA
control region has been reported (Ritchie and Lambert
2000) but to date, no general spheniscid PCR-primers
that target this useful hypervariable sequence exist.
Here we report four novel polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) primers designed for the mtDNA control region
that amplify across a broad range of penguin species.
In addition, we show cross-amplification of nuclear
microsatellite loci isolated from Adélie penguins in
other penguin species. | |
