摘要
The Alagoas Curassow, Pauxi mitu, is extinct in the wild since 2004, and one of the major challenges for its ex situ management is the introgression of alleles from Razor-billed Curassows, P. tuberosa, which occurred in the captive population without pedigree recordings. Here we describe 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from a P. tuberosa genomic library, nine of which amplified and were polymorphic in both species. Numbers of alleles per locus varied from 2 to 4 in P. mitu, and 2 to 16 in P. tuberosa. These loci will be useful for hybrids identification and for the implementation of an ex situ breeding plan based on the establishment of a pure population of P. mitu.
