The New Zealand long-tailed bat (Chalinolobus tuberculatus) is an endangered species which is now absent from many habitats where they were previously observed. However, population genetics studies have been hampered by the lack of reliable genetic markers. We have developed 13 microsatellite markers, and at least eight of these are suitable for population studies. Nine of these markers also cross-react with the closely related Australian species C. gouldii. These markers may prove of general utility in the genus Chalinolobus.
新西兰长尾蝙蝠（Chalinolobus tuberculatus）是一种濒危物种，现在许多以前观察到它们的栖息地已经没有它们的踪迹了。然而，种群遗传学研究受到缺乏可靠遗传标记的阻碍。我们开发了 13 个微卫星标记，其中至少有 8 个标记适用于种群研究。其中 9 个标记也与密切相关的澳大利亚物种 C. gouldii 发生交叉反应。这些标记可能在 Chalinolobus 属中具有普遍的用途。
