Abstract

Forty-one microsatellite loci were found to be polymorphic in the Leach's storm-petrel Oceanodroma leucorhoa when characterised in 24 unrelated individuals sampled from a population located at Gull Island, Newfoundland, Canada. Sequence homology was used to assign a predicted chromosome location for 39 of the polymorphic loci. Four polymorphic microsatellite loci were Z-linked based on the typing of known sex individuals and/or sequence homology. The set of 37 autosomal markers will be suitable for population and parentage studies of the Leach's storm-petrel (combined first parent non-exclusion probability<0.0001).
