Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) ; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) ; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) ; Processo FAPESP: 06/59697-7 ; Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated for Physalaemus cuvieri from a GA-CA enriched library. In 160 P. cuvieri individuals, the number of alleles per locus ranged to 2-9 and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.30 to 0.85. The primers were successfully cross-amplified in the congeneric species P. albonotatus, P. ephippifer and Physalaemus cf. cuvieri, suggesting that these loci are potentially useful for studies on population genetic structure of Physalaemus sp.
