Isolation of sixteen microsatellite loci for Rhoadsia altipinna (Characiformes: Characidae) from an impacted river basin in western Ecuador

Abstract:

Sixteen polymorphic, dinucleotide microsatellite loci were developed for Rhoadsia altipinna, a small characid fish from impacted rivers in south western Ecuador. None of the loci were in linkage disequilibrium or deviated significantly from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium after sequential Bonferroni correction. Variability was relatively high with allelic richness ranging between 2 and 22 alleles per locus (average = 9.125), observed heterozygosity ranging between 0.125 and 0.958 (average = 0.695), and expected heterozygosity ranging between 0.120 and 0.952 (average = 0.736).
