Genetic Diversity and Population Genetics of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae: Culex spp.) from the Sonoran Desert of North America

Table 2

Summary information of the four microsatellite loci averaged over the seven populations of Culex quinquefasciatus. The number of individuals genotyped (𝑁), observed and expected heterozygosities (𝐻_obs and 𝐻_exp), fragment size range (bp), and number of alleles are shown for each locus.

Locus	𝑁	𝐻obs	𝐻exp	Size (bp)	No. of alleles

CQ26	132	0.62879*	0.68879	208–220	7
CQ29	131	0.30534*	0.41628	168–180	5
