摘要
Snapping shrimp (Alpheus) are an important ecological component of tropical marine systems and are excellent models for studies of phylogeography and behavioural ecology. Here, I describe 10 variable microsatellite loci for the Alpheus armillatus species complex of snapping shrimp. The primers were tested on 60 individuals representing three evolutionary lineages within the complex, and yielded three to 21 alleles. These loci will be effective tools in future studies on population genetics and mating behaviour in this complex.
