Table 1: Microsatellite and species ID marker information for bobcat
(Lynx rufus ) and coyote (Canis latrans ). The upper
area of the table contains information for 8 microsatellite loci
including number of samples (n), number of alleles (NA), observed
heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), unbiased expected
heterozygosity (uHe), probability of identity (PID), and
probability of identity siblings (PIDsibs). The lower
area of the table contains information for the species-specific primers
and probes for bobcat (LRUF) and coyote (CLAT).
