We isolated and characterized nine microsatellite loci from the American white pelican, Pelecanus erythrorhynchos. The loci were screened in 23 individuals from the eastern and western populations of North America and were polymorphic, with the number of alleles per locus ranging from two to eight. Polymorphic information content ranged from 0.185 to 0.820 and observed heterozygosity from 0.217 to 0.957. These new loci will provide tools for studies of population structure in this species, thereby aiding conservation planning.
我们从美洲白鹈鹕（Pelecanus erythrorhynchos）中分离并鉴定了九个微卫星位点。这些位点在来自北美洲东部和西部种群的 23 个个体中进行了筛选，结果显示这些位点具有多态性，每个位点的等位基因数范围为 2 到 8。多态信息含量范围为 0.185 到 0.820，观测杂合度范围为 0.217 到 0.957。这些新的位点将为该物种的种群结构研究提供工具，从而有助于保护规划。
