  abstract = {{A}lthough microsatellites are ubiquitous in eukaryota, the number of available markers varies strongly among taxa. {T}his meta-analysis was conducted on 32 insect species. {S}equences were obtained from two assembled whole genomes, whole genome shotgun ({WGS}) sequences from 10 species and screening partial genomic libraries for microsatellites from 23 species. {W}e have demonstrated: (1) strong differences in the abundance of microsatellites among species; (2) that microsatellites within species are often grouped into families based on similarities in their flanking sequences; (3) that the proportion of microsatellites grouped into families varies strongly among taxa; and (4) that microsatellite families were significantly more often associated with transposable elements - or their remnants - than unique microsatellite sequences.},
