Popis:	We describe the isolation of microsatellite loci from Galapagos lava lizards (Microlophus spp.) using an enriched genomic library. Twelve loci that are polymorphic among six populations from two species are described. Characterization of these loci in 20 individuals within one population (Isla Plaza Sur) showed seven to be polymorphic with 3–11 alleles. Heterozygosities within this population were high (0.32–0.90) and did not deviate from Hardy–Weinberg expectations. We suggest that these markers will be useful in studies of population differentiation within and among islands across the Galapagos archipelago.
