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).
