Isolation and characterization of 10 microsatellite loci for Pallas' long-tongued bat Glossophaga soricina (Phyllostomidae).
Glossophaga soricina is a widespread Neotropical nectarivorous bat. We  characterized 10 microsatellite loci isolated from a shotgun genomic library.  We analyzed tissues from wing membrane of 67 individuals collected from two  populations of Central Brazil (Brasília and Alto Paraíso). The number of  alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 20, and the observed and expected  heterozygosities ranged from 0.015 to 0.666 and from 0.016 to 0.915,  respectively. The high combined probability of genetic identity (4.369 x 10(-8)) and  probability of paternity exclusion (0.996) showed that these microsatellite  loci would be useful for population genetic structure and parentage studies in  natural populations of G. soricina.
