Abstract
We identified 28 microsatellite loci from Popenaias popeii, a freshwater mussel that has experienced population declines throughout its range. Twenty loci were polymorphic, with 4–10 alleles, observed heterozygosity values of 0.375–1.00, and 16 % of alleles shared by more than one population. These loci should be useful for describing population genetic diversity, which will facilitate ongoing conservation efforts for P. popeii.
