In San Francisco Bay (SFB), CA, an invasive hybrid swarm between the Atlantic and Gulf coast native cordgrass Spartina alterniflora and the California native S. foliosa, is spreading at a rate exceeding exponential growth (Ayres et al. 2004). Spartina alterniflora is also spreading at an extraordinary rate in Willapa Bay (WB), WA (Civille et al. 2005), where S. foliosa does not occur. We initially developed 11 microsatellite loci to elucidate how Spartina invasions proceed (Blum et al. 2004). Here we characterize an additional 24 microsatellite loci to enable more thorough molecular investigations of ecological and evolutionary processes driving Spartina invasions. All new loci were developed from four enriched genomic libraries targeting (GA) n,(CA) n,(AAG) n and (CTA) n repeat motifs constructed by Genetic Identification Services (GIS)(http:///www. geneticid-services. com) from S. alterniflora genomic DNA (> 100lg) isolated from a plant sampled from North Carolina. Following GIS polymerase chain reaction (PCR) library screening guidelines, we found that approximately 40%(196 of 500) of the E. coli clones had incorporated S. alternifloraDNA fragments. A forward universal pUC19 primer and ABI PRISMÒ BigDyeTM Terminator chemistry on an ABI 3100 sequencer (PE Applied Biosystems) were used to sequence the PCR products. Locus specific primers were designed for 152 clone sequences using PRIMER 3 (Rozen and Skaletsky 1998) and http://www. gramene. org
