The soricid water shrew Chimarrogale platycephalus is a mammalian species endemic to the Japanese Islands. The animals inhabit the islands of Honshu and Kyushu, and are considered to be extinct in Shikoku. Information on this water shrew from Honshu and Kyushu is scarce, and C. platycephalus is registered on many local governments' red lists as an endangered species. There are very few studies on their ethology, ecology or phylogenetics, due to difficulties related to the shrews being both nocturnal and aquatic: to study C. platycephalus, field research must be conducted in mountain streams at night. To overcome these challenges, we previously established a genetic analysis method using the feces of C. platycephalus, as a result of which the amount of phylogenetic and phylogeographic data has increased and our understanding of the species has improved. In this study, microsatellite markers were developed, and analyses using markers for 21 loci were performed. Moreover, to confirm the ability of these 21 microsatellite markers to differentiate individuals, all markers were tested using fecal and tissue specimens from 12 individuals reared separately in an aquarium. Using as few as 12 of these loci, individual differentiation with 100% accuracy should be achievable. The development of microsatellite markers in this study and the establishment of individual identification methods should greatly contribute to future ecological, ethological, population genetics and biogeographical research on C. platycephalus.
