Microsatellite locus code according to [11]* and [12]**, the optimized annealing temperature, the range of size variation in basepairs (length of alleles), the number of alleles found at each locus, the effective number of alleles v2 according to [26] and [24, p. 324]; the gene pool diversity and the hypothetical gametic multilocus diversity vgam; Ror and Wib are the acronyms for the two analysed P. avium stands in Roringen and Wibbecke
