Resumo(s)
Bubo bubo is the largest owl in the world, showing a wide geographical distribution
throughout the Palaearctic region. It underwent a demographic decline in many European
countries during the last century and was considered “vulnerable” (Annex II of the CITES).
Nowadays, it is classified as “Least Concern” according to IUCN.
Despite its ecological importance and conservation status, few polymorphic molecular
markers are available to study its diversity and population genetics. We report on the
isolation and development of 10 new microsatellites for the Eagle owl, B. bubo. All loci (10
tetra-nucleotide) are characterized by high polymorphism levels. Number of alleles ranged
from 5 to 13 and expected heterozygosity varied from 0.733 to 0.840. These microsatellites
would be very useful to assess the genetic diversity, connectivity patterns and parentage of
B. bubo. This information will allow to establish new conservation strategies and improve
the management of the species.
