We used an enrichment technique to isolate 60 microsatellite loci in Ardea herodias. We developed primers for 17 loci, screened for variation in A. herodias and attempted to amplify these loci in three closely related species (A. alba, A. cinerea and A. cocoi). Fifteen loci were polymorphic in A. herodias. Observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.10 to 0.81. Two loci appeared to be monomorphic in A. herodias, but exhibited variation in product size among species within the genus. Our ability to amplify polymorphic products in closely related species suggests that these markers may be useful in other herons.
