Resumo
We describe ten microsatellite loci from the lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris), one of the last members of the Neotropical megafauna and considered a vulnerable species. A total of 74 alleles were detected, ranging from four to thirteen alleles per locus. The expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.34 to 0.88, with a mean of 0.635. All but one locus conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg expectations. These microsatellite loci can be used in population genetic studies of the genus Tapirus, in which all species are threatened globally.
