Microsatellite variation among ocelots from Texas and Mexico.

Measures of genetic variation of 11 microsatellite loci among contemporary ocelots sampled in Texas (Willacy and Cameron), northeastern Mexico (Los Ebanos) and ocelot museum specimens collected in the region (Texas Historical).aN = Sample size.bP = Polymorphic loci.cHe = Expected heterozygosity.dSE = Standard error.eAN = Number of alleles.fAR1 = Allelic richness estimated in FSTAT.gAR2 = Allelic richness estimated using rarefaction to account for samples size differences in HP-RARE.hAP1 = Private alleles.iAP2 = Private alleles estimated using rarefaction to account for samples size differences in HP-RARE.jDue to PCR failure the mean number samples per locus in museum specimens for which genotypes were obtained was 5.
