Abstract

Sorex arizonae is a rare species that occupies a narrow range of habitat types in several mountain ranges of New Mexico, Arizona and Northern Mexico. Here we identify and characterize six microsatellite loci for this species. We screened 63 individuals from four different localities from New Mexico and Arizona to analyse genetic variability. Alleles ranged from three to 16. Heterozygosity ranged from 40% to 78%. Most polymorphic loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with the exception of one locus. Primers appear to have reasonable cross-species applicability as five loci amplified in another shrew species (Sorex monticolus).
