Abstract

We have developed eight di- and tetranucleotide
Lissotriton microsatellite markers. Eight loci were
polymorphic in the palmate newt Lissotriton helveticus and
six were polymorphic in the smooth newt L. vulgaris.
Polymorphism detected in 33 and 37 individuals per species
ranged from 3 to 15 alleles. These markers are suitable
for the investigation of population structure, genetic variation
and taxonomic identification in the two focal species,
and may also be of use in other Lissotriton–Triturus
species.
