  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We used next generation shotgun sequencing to develop novel microsatellite markers for two endangered waterbirds; the Hawaiian coot (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fulica alai&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) and Hawaiian gallinule (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Gallinula galeata sandvicensis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;). The 20 loci polymorphic in the Hawaiian coot displayed moderate allelic diversity (average 3.8 alleles/locus) and heterozygosity (average 59.5&amp;nbsp;%). The 12 loci variable for the Hawaiian gallinule exhibited lower levels of allelic diversity (average 2.4 alleles/locus) and heterozygosity (average 47.5&amp;nbsp;%). Loci were in linkage equilibrium and only one locus deviated from Hardy&amp;ndash;Weinberg equilibrium. These loci are sufficiently variable to assess levels of genetic diversity and will be useful for conservation genetic studies to aid in the management of these endangered waterbirds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
