Résumé :	Six microsatellite loci were isolated from the petrels of Round Island, near Mauritius in the Indian Ocean (Pterodroma arminjoniana). Three loci were monomorphic in P. arminjoniana but were found to be polymorphic in other Procellariiforms. Cross-utility of all six loci was tested in 17 Procellariiform and 1 penguin species. In addition, 53 microsatellite loci developed for other species of birds were tested for cross-species amplification in P. arminjoniana. Six of these loci were found to be polymorphic.
