Estimating effective population size is an important issue in population and conservation genetics. Recently, we proposed a new method to infer effective size and migration rate from one- and two-locus identity probability measures. We now announce the release of a user-friendly Microsoft® Windows program that uses this method to provide joint estimates of local effective population size and immigration rate for each subpopulation in a population genetics data set.

Absence of enzymatic polymorphism in the endangered species of fern Marsilea strigosa prompted us to develop microsatellite loci in this species. We used an enriched partial genomic library, from which six polymorphic microsatellite loci were obtained. From a previous attempt to develop microsatellite markers with standard techniques, a single long and polymorphic locus was obtained. This highlights the benefits from using enrichment techniques in those species where microsatellite loci may be rare in the genome.
