✦ Synopsis

The black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) is currently one of the most endangered African mammals as a direct result o habitat destruction and intensive poaching. A microsatellite library was constructed to address a number of population genetic questions. This paper describes the isolation of five black rhinoceros microsatellite loci. Three of these loci were found to be polymorphic. In addition, the paper demonstrates the utility for cross-hybridization of these primers in other species of rhinoceros.

## Abstract Sixteen dinucleotide microsatellite loci were isolated from the genome of __Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi__. All loci were polymorphic when genotyped on a minimum of 16 animals. The number of alleles across these loci ranges from two to 11. Additionally, seven of these loci were genot
