TABLE 2. Properties of the microsatellite loci used for M. daubentonii and M. nattereri. Abbreviations: N — number of samples successfully analysed, A — number of alleles, H e — expected heterozygosity, H o — observed heterozygosity. Primers presented in brackets were removed from the final analysis due to significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, linkage disequilibrium or genotyping inconsistencies
