Abstract

We characterize 15 microsatellite loci from two microsatellite libraries developed from the Australian agamid lizards Amphibolurus muricatus and Ctenophorus pictus. All loci were tested for amplification in four other agamids: Ctenophorus fordi, Ctenophorus decresii, Chlamydosaurus kingii and Physignathus lesueurii. These loci were highly polymorphic within and across species, with nine to 12 loci amplifying for each species tested.
