  1. n - number of individuals tested; *Failed to amplify but showed successful transferability initially (see Table 1); - No amplification; allele numbers in bold indicate loci that failed to cross-amplify according to Table 1; P – polymorphic and PP - percentage of polymorphism. For species abbreviations refer to Table 1.
