Abstract

A cross-species amplification test of 39 bovid microsatellite markers was carried out on chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra), a species with a high economic and tourist value, for which a number of life-history traits remain to be quantified. Of 39 primer pairs tested, 26 gave a specific amplification product and 21 were polymorphic. Locus-specific allelic richness ranged from two to six. Our results suggest that these loci will be useful for investigating basic population genetics as well as life-history traits, such as dispersal.
