Eleven microsatellite loci for the freshwater mussel Lasmigona costata were isolated and characterized. Genetic screening of individuals from four rivers in southern Ontario confirmed that all loci were highly polymorphic. These loci should prove useful in a range of studies from fine- and coarse-scale population structure and gene flow to reproductive success of individuals.
