In black bold: Amplicon sequences corresponding to the element targeted. Underlined: PCR amplification products in species in which the element targeted was firstly identified. In italics: Amplicon sequences corresponding to another element than the one targeted. A: PCR amplification product of the expected size observed but not sequenced. na: No PCR amplification of expected size. -: Not tested. * see Methods for more details. $ single specific primer associated to the Retro1+ primer.
