Microsatellite markers remain an important tool for ecological and evolutionary research, but are unavailable for many non-model organisms. One such organism with rare ecological and evolutionary features is the epizoic barnacleChelonibia testudinaria(Linnaeus, 1758).Chelonibia testudinariaappears to be a host generalist, and has an unusual sexual system, androdioecy. Genetic studies on host specificity and mating behavior are impeded by the lack of fine-scale, highly variable markers, such as microsatellite markers. In the present study, we discovered thousands of new microsatellite loci from next-generation sequencing data, and characterized 12 loci thoroughly. We conclude that 11 of these loci will be useful markers in future ecological and evolutionary studies onC. testudinaria.

Abstract Rhododendron purdomii, an endangered ornamental species endemic to the Qinling Mountains, is an important component of montane ecosystem in central China. Due to the impact of climate change and human disturbance, management and conservation of this species are in urgent needs. In this study, we developed 13 novel microsatellite markers for R. purdomii based on next-generation sequencing data, and tested these markers’ utility in congeneric species R. concinnum. For the 13 microsatellite markers in three R. purdomii populations, number of alleles ranged from two to 12, number of effective alleles was from 1.000 to 8.892, Shannon’s information index was from 0.000 to 2.320, and the observed and expected heterozygosity were from 0.000 to 1.000 and from 0.000 to 0.888, respectively. Cross-species amplification for R. concinnum indicated eight microsatellite loci were successfully amplified and polymorphic. The microsatellite markers developed in this study will provide opportunities for examining the genetic diversity and population structure of R. purdomii and contribute to the effective conservation of this species.
