espanolMycteria americana (Aves, Ciconiidae) es la unica especie de ciguena distribuida en el Caribe. En Cuba se considera residente permanente, pero rara, y solo se conocen dos colonias reproductivamente activas. En este trabajo se emplearon cinco loci de microsatelites para caracterizar geneticamente a 37 individuos de esas colonias, localizadas en dos de los mas importantes humedales de Cuba: la cienaga de Zapata y el archipielago Sabana–Camaguey. Se observo una baja variabilidad en los indices de variabilidad genetica, cuyos valores fueron similares a los referidos para las poblaciones de la especie en Norteamerica y Suramerica, y poca diferenciacion genetica entre las colonias que, sin embargo, era significativa. Nuestros resultados destacan la necesidad de mejorar la planificacion del manejo y la conservacion de la especie en Cuba debido a que la combinacion de la baja variacion genetica, el pequeno tamano de las colonias, la influencia humana y los factores climaticos podrian amenazar su persistencia. EnglishMycteria americana (Aves, Ciconiidae) is the only species of stork found in the Caribbean. It is a permanent yet rare resident in Cuba, with only two reproductively active colonies. In this work, we used five microsatellite loci to characterize 37 individuals from these colonies, located in two of the most important wetlands of Cuba, the Zapata Swamp and the Sabana–Camaguey Archipelago. We found low genetic variability, with similar values to those reported for North and South American populations of the species, and little but significant genetic differentiation between colonies. Our results highlight the need to improve the management and conservation planning of the species in Cuba because the combination of low genetic variation, small colonies, anthropogenic influence and climatic factors could threaten its persistence.
