Abstract
Sixteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated in the cooperatively breeding grey-crowned babbler (Pomatostomus temporalis). The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to eight, and observed heterozygosity from 0.07 to 0.88. Two loci showed a significant heterozygote deficiency, one of which appears to be sex-linked. The exclusion probability for eight unlinked loci was 0.9996 with the other parent known. These loci will be used to analyse population genetic structure and the mating system of this vulnerable species.
