  1. Primer concentration in the final reaction as μM/primer ([P]); Number of alleles per locus (A N ); effective number of alleles (A E ); observed heterozygosity (H O ); expected heterozygosity (H E ); polymorphic information content (PIC); inbreeding coefficient (F IS ) with statistically significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations indicated by *(P < 0.01) and **(P < 0.001); null allele frequency (Fr NULL ) with bindicating the presence of null alleles at statistical significance at the 5% nominal level and Ewans-Watterson probability (P E-W ). Mean values for each multiplex assay and overall are indicated in bold.
