Abstract

Many wild giraffe populations are declining across Africa, with two subspecies listed by the IUCN as Endangered in the past 4 years. We developed 11 microsatellite markers from Giraffa camelopardalis angolensis in Etosha National Park, Namibia using 454 sequencing. In 70 individuals, the loci showed 2-4 alleles per locus and expected heterozygosities of 0. 082-0. 711. There were no significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for any of the loci. Null allele frequencies were low (
