Limpets (
Patella spp.) are suitable organisms to investigate the effects of climate change in marine systems. They are widespread over NE
Atlantic intertidal rocky shores and have been extensively studied in terms of population dynamics and ecology. Within genus
Patella, microsatellites have only been developed for
Patella caerulea and cross-species tests are unknown. In this work, we describe 11 primer pairs for
Patella depressa and the results of cross-species testing on
Patella candei and
Patella rustica.
