Abstract
The calanoid copepods Eudiaptomus gracilis and Eudiaptomus graciloides are widespread among European lakes. We constructed enriched genomic libraries for both species in order to isolate and characterise microsatellite markers. The obtained 7 polymorphic microsatellite-loci for E. gracilis and 3 for E. graciloides are the first for any freshwater copepod. They display an expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.60 to 0.96 and 0.63 to 0.94 and observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.53 to 0.87 and 0.57 to 0.87, respectively. We were not able to cross-amplify the isolated loci across species, indicating long divergence among both congeneric species despite morphological similarity
