Twenty‐four polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for the double‐crested cormorant ( Phalacrocorax auritus ). The number of alleles ranged from two to 13 and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.032 to 0.871. The use of these loci should enable researchers and biologists to learn more about the population structure and ecology of this species.
