Probability of identity (PI) and measures of genetic diversity at 12 microsatellite loci in our capercaillie population sorted by polymorphic information content (PIC).

Across loci = means (and SE) over loci for A, R, Ho and He, and combined probability for PI and PIsib over all loci. HW = p-value of exact test [32], with asterisks indicating significant deviation from HW expectations at a Bonferroni-corrected α-level of 0.0042 (p-value of 0.05 divided by 12). N = number of samples, A = number of alleles, R = allelic richness (based on a minimum sample size of 117 individuals), Ho = observed heterozygosity, He = expected heterozygosity, PIC = polymorphic information content, a measure of informativeness related to expected heterozygosity and calculated from allele frequencies [31], PI = probability of identity, PIsib = probability of identity considering the possible presence of siblings (see [30]), FNull = Frequency of null alleles per locus; negative values indicate excess of observed heterozygote genotypes.Probability of identity (PI) and measures of genetic diversity at 12 microsatellite loci in our capercaillie population sorted by polymorphic information content (PIC).
