A novel SNP assay reveals increased genetic variability and abundance following translocations to a remnant Allegheny woodrat population

Table 2 Mean observed heterozygosity (H_O) ± SE, mean expected heterozygosity (H_E) ± SE for Allegheny woodrats (Neotoma magister) genotyped at 134 SNPs

Year	Females	Males	H_O ± SE	H_E ± SE
Indiana	82	90	0.27 ± 0.01	0.23 ± 0.01
Ohio	31	27	0.25 ± 0.02	0.23 ± 0.02
Pennsylvania^a	3	3
New Jersey—pre-translocation^b	9	9	0.08 ± 0.02	0.07 ± 0.01
New Jersey—during translocations	23	20	0.21 ± 0.02	0.18 ± 0.01
New Jersey—post-translocation	10	11	0.27 ± 0.02	0.24 ± 0.02

^aObserved and expected heterozygosity were not calculated for the 6 individuals from Pennsylvania
^bSummary statistics for individuals captured before (2009, 2011), during years in which translocations also occurred (2015–2017) and after (2018–2019) translocations occurred are indicated by “pre-translocation”, “during translocations” and “post-translocation”, respectively
