Popis:	We present 14 microsatellite loci that were isolated from little spotted kiwi (LSK, Apteryx owenii). All loci cross-amplify in all kiwi species currently recognized except for one locus in a single species. Little spotted kiwi exhibited lower variation at these loci (mean number of alleles, H E) than other kiwi species, despite the markers having been developed for polymorphism in LSK and a far greater number of LSK genotyped than kiwi of other species. Reliable cross-species amplification and polymorphism make these markers promising new tools for the management of New Zealand’s threatened kiwi.
