  1. “Locus” refers to the name assigned to the microsatellite containing sequence. “Size-range” is the bp size of the alleles genotyped. “Motif” is the repeat motif and number of repeats (in parentheses) identified from the sequence read in QDD. “Microchecker null” and “Microchecker scoring error” denote the results of tests in Microchecker for null alleles or scoring errors at each locus. The number of alleles (NA), effective number of alleles (AE), unbiased expected heterozygosity (uHE), observed heterozygosity (HO), were output by the Genalex software. The Hardy–Weinberg P-value is the P-value reported for each locus, and across all loci from Genepop using Fisher’s method at the bottom of the table. “CR” and “LCP” refer to the Connecticut River and Little Cove Point collections of Cicindela puritana. See “Methods” section of the text for details of these collections
