What is Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in Lampsilis abrupta (Bivalvia: Unionidae) and cross-species amplification within the genus about?
## Abstract We have documented the first microsatellites isolated from a unionid and demonstrated that these markers can be useful for surveys of neutral genetic variation in several __Lampsilis__ species. We describe the isolation and characterization of 15 polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci for the endangered unionid __Lampsilis abrupta__. Among individuals from five collections, allelic diversity ranged from six to 17 alleles and averaged 10.4 alleles per locus. Individual heterozygosity was observed to range from 20.0% to 86.7% and averaged 46.9%. Cross‐species amplification was investigated in nine additional __Lampsilis__ species. A high level of flanking sequence similarity was inferred as 13 of 15 loci amplified in at least seven species.
