Table 3. Genetic diversity measures of 17 microsatellite markers in 69 Fan-tailed Gerygone nestlings and the results of association analysis performed in CLUMP 2.4 with skin coloration of the offspring.

HE: unbiased expected heterozygosity; HO: observed heterozygosity; p: level of significance of the chi-squared value from the table obtained by comparing χ² of the allele frequencies in dark and bright chicks with χ² calculated based on simulated (100x) tables with the same row and column totals, after collapsing low allele frequencies (<5%, [45]). Significant results (loci associated with skin coloration) after Bonferroni correction (adjusted P < 0.003) are marked with asterisk.
