Abstract

The Brown Eared-pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum) is an endangered species endemic to China. Here we developed eight microsatellite loci using a modified biotin-capture method. In the analyses of 28 individuals sampled, the number of alleles per locus ranged from four to nine. The expected (HE) and observed (HO) heterozygosities were 0.466-0.825 and 0.619-0.847, respectively. Results that eight microsatellite loci were highly polymorphic indicated that these markers are sufficiently powerful to address such questions as genetic diversity and population genetic structure of C. mantchuricum.
