New microsatellite DNA markers to resolve population structure of the convict surgeonfish, Acanthurus triostegus, and cross-species amplifications on thirteen other Acanthuridae.

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites are widely used to investigate connectivity and parentage in marine organisms. Despite surgeonfish (Acanthuridae) being dominant members of most reef fish assemblages and having an ecological key role in coral reef ecosystems, there is limited information describing the scale at which populations are connected and very few microsatellite markers have been screened. Here, we developed fourteen...
