The European crow (Corvus corone) occurs in two subspecies (or species) with distinct plumage coloration: the black carrion crow (C. c. corone) and the grey and black hooded crow (C. c. cornix). We tested 42 passerine microsatellite loci for amplification in the European crow and identified 20 loci that were both polymorphic and easy to score. In 50 individuals sampled in the Danish part of the species' pan-European hybrid zone, the number of alleles ranged between two and 21. One locus deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and had a high estimated null allele frequency. These 20 loci were highly successful in amplifying polymorphic products also in other crow populations and in another Corvidae species, the rook (Corvus frugilegus).
欧洲乌鸦（Corvus corone）有两个亚种（或物种），它们的羽毛颜色有明显的区别：黑腐肉鸦（C. c. corone）和灰黑头鸦（C. c. cornix）。我们测试了 42 个雀形目微卫星基因座在欧洲乌鸦中的扩增情况，发现了 20 个既多态又易于评分的基因座。在 50 个在欧洲杂交区丹麦部分采样的个体中，等位基因数介于 2 到 21 之间。一个基因座偏离了哈迪-温伯格平衡，具有较高的估计无效等位基因频率。这 20 个基因座在扩增其他乌鸦种群和另一种鸦科物种（松鸦）的多态性产物方面非常成功。
