DNA data generated in this study would have identified any non-Falco peregrinus samples. Sub-species designations were based on currently recognized geographic bounds of each, with samples in contact zones labeled as possibly of either species.</taxonpro>

      <attraccr>Identifying information about samples were cross-checked with original field data. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and electrophoresis followed protocols described in Sonsthagen et al 2004. Quality control (QC) included a minimum of 10% re-extraction and PCR replication for each locus and all laboratory techniques were performed using sterile procedures. All duplicate characterizations of the same individual resulted in concordant data. GenBank accession numbers were cross-referenced to the appropriate individual samples as recorded.</attraccr>
    </attracc>
    <logic>For microsatellite loci, reported allele sizes were reviewed to confirm that they conform to expected distributions (e.g. dinucleotide repeats with 1 base pair differences were reviewed on gel images by laboratory personnel, gaps in allele sizes were reviewed, and single occurrences of an allele size were scrutinized). No inconsistencies in genotype scores were observed between replicates. Tests for null alleles and allelic dropout were implemented in MicroChecker (van Oosterhout et al 2004).</logic>
    <complete>Data omissions for particular entities are explained in the Entity and Attribute definitions. Blank cells are described for each attribute.

    Subspecies of a sample is based upon currently recognized distribution maps and location of sampling unless field sampling information precluded this assignment (e.g. sampling occurred near a recognized subspecies boundary).  In these instances (Porcupine River and San Juan Islands), the two possible subspecies are listed.

    Known related individuals (from field records) are noted.</complete>

        <procdesc>LAB:

        DNA extractions were performed as described in Talbot et al (2017). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and scoring of microsatellites followed Talbot et al (2011) using primer pairs as published by Nesje et al (2000).

        Sequencing protocols followed Talbot et al (2011) and White et al (2013); for some feather and museum samples that did not produce product using these protocols, a set of internal primers were designed to amplify 2 smaller, overlapping portions of the target sequence and are described in Talbot et al (2017).

        Initial microsatellite allele sizes were determined by scoring based on PCR product size relative to an M13 DNA sequence ladder using Gene Profiler 4.05 (Scanalytics, Inc., Fairfax, VA). Subsequent gels included these known size individuals from which relative sizes of unknown individuals were assigned using Gene Profiler 4.05. For this reason, these microsatellite data cannot be combined with data generated outside the USGS Alaska Science Center without molecular size calibration between laboratories. MtDNA sequences from opposite strands were reconciled using Sequencher 4.1.2 (Gene Codes Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI). Tests for null alleles and allelic dropout were implemented in MicroChecker (van Oosterhout et al 2004).

        MtDNA sequences were analyzed using eSeq ver.2.0 (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE) imaging software with visual proofing and aligned with each other using AlignIR ver. 2.0.</procdesc>

        <attrdef>These 24 columns represent 12 autosomal microsatellite loci. Each microsatellite locus genotype is represented by two adjacent columns (i.e., allele1 and allele2) each containing one allele score. Blank cells indicate data were not collected for the sample.

        Locus names and order of presentation:  NVHfp05, NVHfp13, NVHfp31, NVHfp46-1, NVH54, NVHfp79-1, NVHfp79-4, NVHfp82-2, NVHfp86-2, NVHfp89, NVHfp92-1, NVHfp107
