| Abstract: | We developed primers for eight polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from the collared pika, Ochotona collaris, and also tested nine loci previously developed for the American pika, O. princeps, for use in O. collaris. Forty-six individuals from an O. collaris population in the southern Yukon were genotyped using all 17 loci. The average number of alleles per locus was six and the average observed heterozygosity was 0.59. All loci were tested for use in four Asian pika species and all but two loci amplified reliably in these species. |
