Number of specimens sequenced per species for each site and the proportion of specimens that produced a usable sequence for the genes LSU, SSU1 and SSU2, and the proportion of specimens that produced no usable sequences.

The final three rows of the table present the number of specimens and the average proportions for the two islands sampled and for all the sites. Samples were collected during February 2012 at six sites: Playa Elefantera (ELE), Playa Fünschloger (FUN) and Base Escudero (ESC) all on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island; and Base Gabriel Castillo (CAS), Playa Fumarole (FUM) and Caleta Pendulo (PEN), on Deception Island.
