• Premise of the study: Microsatellite markers were characterized for an Antarctic endemic, Buellia frigida , to investigate population structure and origin of Antarctic lichens. • Methods and Results: Five primer sets were characterized. All loci were polymorphic with eight to 16 alleles per locus in a sample of 59 lichens. • Conclusions: The microsatellite markers potentially provide insight into population structure and gene flow of B. frigida .
