Characterisation and cross-species utility of 20 microsatellite markers for population and forensic applications in the endangered Carnaby’s Black-cockatoo, Calyptorhynchus latirostris

We characterise 20 microsatellite loci identifiedfrom the endangered Carnaby’s Black-cockatoo(Calyptorhynchus latirostris). The primers were testedacross 40 individuals from the southwest of WesternAustralia and displayed between 4 and 11 alleles per locuswith expected heterozygosities ranging from...
