Summary

Two tables of data are included in this data release. The first table provides screening results for 32 previously described and/or published microsatellites and 1 sexing marker, primer redesigns for use in Mexican Spotted Owls in this data release, and size of markers in Mexican Spotted Owls. The second table provides microsatellite and sexing marker results for 10 tissue and 98 feather samples for 11 microsatellite markers identified as variable in initial marker screenings.

Purpose

The Mexican Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis lucida) was listed as threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1993. The National Park Service requested assistance with developing genetic markers to identify individual owls from feathers and other materials. Genetic IDs or fingerprints were to then be used in subsequent analyses of habitat occupancy, dispersal rates, and gene flow among NPS units.
