The following table was created as part of our research on the use of microsatellite DNA primer in other taxa (species, genera, families, and orders). A summary of this table, as well as additional information about microsatellite DNA loci, appears in:
Scribner, K. T., and J. M. Pearce. 2000. Microsatellites: evolutionary and methodological background and empirical applications at individual, population, and phylogenetic levels. Pages 235-271, in A. Baker, editor. Molecular Methods in Ecology. Blackwell Science Limited, London, England.
Table 1. Taxonomic affiliation, publication reference, and use as heterologous primers as conducted by the referenced author(s).

1 - Use as heterologous primers when tested in the following: other species (S) or genera (G) of the same taxonomic family; other families (F) of the same order or other taxonomic order (O). Numeric code represents the following: 0 = primers not tested; 1 = tested primers yielded no PCR product; 2 = primers yielded PCR product of expected size, but were not tested for variability or were found to be monomorphic when tested for variability; 3 = tested primers yielded variable product of ≥ 2 alleles).
