Abstract

Eight microsatellite markers have been characterized from the Perumytilus purpuratus genome. Their gene diversity ranged from 0.057 to 0.873 and significant interpopulation genic heterogeneity was observed between two populations of southeastern Pacific (Chile) and southwestern Atlantic (Argentine). Distinct cross-priming amplification rates were recovered on nine additional species belonging to six Mytilinae genera. The microsatellites developed herein would likely be a powerful intraspecific genetic tool to undertake fine population studies in the intertidal ecosystem bioengineer P. purpuratus along the South American shoreline. © 2007 The Authors.
