Location of the Central Mesa Verde (VEP North) and Northern Rio Grande (VEP South) study areas, and samples analyzed in this paper.
Sizes of circles are proportional to sample sizes. Base map is derived from US Geological Survey Public Domain DEMs.
Table 1.
Summary of turkey samples studied and the results of their genetic analyses.
Sequences and mutational positions are relative to the turkey mtDNA reference sequence (EF153719; [30]). Only haplotypes of sequences spanning nps 15730–15973 are reported here. See S1 Table for full results of data collected in this study.
Table 2.
Summary of canid samples studied and the results of their genetic analyses.
Sequences and mutational positions are relative to the dog mtDNA reference sequence (U96639; [34]). Only haplotypes of sequences spanning nps 15459–15691 are reported here. Number of samples identified as coyotes are indicated, regardless of the span of the sequences used for the identification. See S2 Table for full results.
Table 3.
Primers used to amplify turkey mtDNA, their coordinates relative to the turkey (EF153719; [30]) mtDNA reference sequence, amplicon lengths produced, and annealing temperatures.
While primers were previously reported by Speller et al. [22], the coordinates of T15533F are corrected here, the target regions have been renamed, and the amplicon sizes are reported.
Table 4.
Primers used to amplify dog and coyote mtDNA, their coordinates relative to the dog (U96639; [34]) and coyote (DQ480509; [35]) mtDNA reference sequences, amplicon lengths produced, and annealing temperatures.
Table 5.
P-values of Fisher’s exact tests used to compare haplogroup counts for turkeys across the three spatial/temporal units of analysis.
Tests compare aHap1 and aHap2 frequencies from Table 1.
Table 6.
Results of the stable carbon (13C/12C) and nitrogen (15N/14N) isotopes ratios preserved in the subset of canid remains subjected to analysis.
These data are also depicted in Fig 2.
Fig 2.
Plot of stable carbon (13C/12C) and nitrogen (15N/14N) isotope values observed from a subset of the canids for which genetic identification as dog or coyote was achieved.
Dogs are indicated by white circles and coyotes as black squares. Values for each data point are reported in Table 7.
Table 7.
P-values of Fisher’s exact tests used to compare haplotype counts for dogs across the three spatial/temporal units of analysis.
Tests compare haplotype frequencies from Table 2; n/a = not applicable; tests could not be carried out because no dogs were observed in Post-1280 NRG samples.
