The white-spotted sandbass (Paralabrax albomaculatus)is a commercially important species in the Galapagos Marine Reserve, but is classified as endangered in the IUCN Red List. For this study, 10 microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized using Illumina paired-end sequencing. These loci can be used for genetic studies of population structure and connectivity to aid in the management of the white-spotted sandbass and other closely-related species. The 10 characterized loci were polymorphic, with 11–49 alleles per locus, and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.575 to 0.964. This set of markers is the first to be developed for this species.

Abstract BackgroundWe used Illumina paired-end-sequencing to isolate and characterize microsatellites of Canthon cyanellus, a Neotropical roller dung beetle encompassing several lineages within its distribution range.Methods and ResultsWe examined C. cyanellus specimens collected at eight different localities in Mexico (two or three specimens per locality). We initially made amplification tests with 16 loci, but two of these showed amplification problems; thus, we evaluated 14 loci. The 14 microsatellites were polymorphic, with 2–16 alleles each. The expected and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.11 to 0.76 and from 0.20 to 0.78, respectively. ConclusionsThese microsatellites will help to assess structure at the population and lineage levels, identify zones of potential hybridization between lineages, and draw a more precise geographic delimitation of Canthon cyanellus lineages.
