Table 1.

Allele comparison between the PA YOY and all PP (N = 10), PA (N = 6) and PPAA (N = 1) parental males present in the pond. Highlighted alleles in the list correspond to PA YOY alleles, and matching alleles with each possible parental male are shown in green. Match percentage represent the proportion of microsatellites sharing alleles between the PA YOY and each possible parental male. Male reproductive modes were taken into account when calculating match percentages: (i) PP males produce haploid sperm (P genome), meaning they would only pass half of their genome (one allele per microsatellite) to the descendant; (ii) PA males produce unreduced clonal diploid sperm (PA genome), meaning they would pass their entire genome (two alleles per microsatellite) to the descendant; and (iii) PPAA males produce reduced diploid sperm (PA genome), meaning they would pass half of their genome (two alleles per microsatellite) to the descendant.
