We report the characterization of 25 microsatellite loci isolated from the macaroni penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus). Thirteen loci were arranged into four multiplex sets for future genetic studies of macaroni penguin populations. All 25 loci were tested separately in each of four other penguin species [Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae), chinstrap penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica), gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) and king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus)]. Between eight and 12 loci were polymorphic per species. These loci are expected to be useful for studies of population genetic structure in a range of penguin species.
我们报道了从马可罗尼企鹅（Eudyptes chrysolophus）中分离出的 25 个微卫星位点的特征。其中 13 个位点被排列成四个多重位点，用于未来对马可罗尼企鹅种群的遗传研究。所有 25 个位点都在另外四种企鹅物种（阿德利企鹅（Pygoscelis adeliae）、帽带企鹅（Pygoscelis antarctica）、巴布亚企鹅（Pygoscelis papua）和王企鹅（Aptenodytes patagonicus））中分别进行了单独测试。每个物种有 8 到 12 个位点呈现多态性。这些位点有望用于研究一系列企鹅物种的种群遗传结构。
