  abstract = {{B}ackground{I}n the context of global change, coral reefs and their associated biodiversity are under threat. {S}everal conservation strategies using population genetics have been explored to protect them. {H}owever, some components of this ecosystem are understudied, such as hydrozoans, an important class of benthic organisms worldwide. {A} comprehensive study of coral reefs as a whole is needed to develop effective conservation measures. {H}ere we describe the development of 75 new microsatellite markers for 5 hydroid species: {A}ntennella billardi, {L}ytocarpia phyteuma, {S}ertularella diaphana, {T}axella gracilicaulis and {Z}ygophylax rufa.{M}ethods and results{M}arkers were tested on 246 specimens from {R}eunion and {M}ayotte islands in the southwestern {I}ndian {O}cean. {A}llelic diversity ranged from 1 to 21 for the 5 species, and 9 loci were estimated to have null allele frequencies ranging from 10 to 37%. {O}bserved and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.03 to 1 and from 0.03 to 0.93, respectively. 12 loci showed data significantly out of {H}ardy-{W}einberg equilibrium. {C}ross-amplification was performed in 8 species, of which 3 showed high successful amplification rates (53 to 93%).{C}onclusion{T}he estimated genetic metrics were similar to those reported for other hydroid and cnidarian marker sets. {C}ross-amplification showed a contrasting transferability between species, often related to the hydroid phylogeny. {T}hese newly developed markers will be relevant to the study of hydroid population genetics and coral reef conservation.},
