Accurate knowledge of geographic ranges and genetic relationships among populations is important when managing a species or population of conservation concern. Along the western coast of Canada, a subspecies of the northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis laingi) is legally designated as Threatened. The range and distinctness of this form, in comparison to the broadly distributed North American subspecies (Accipiter gentilis atricapillus), is unclear. Given this morphological uncertainty, we analyzed genomic relationships in thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms identified using genotyping-by-sequencing of high-quality genetic samples. Results revealed a genetically distinct population of northern goshawks on the archipelago of Haida Gwaii and subtle structuring among other North American sampling regions. We then developed genotyping assays for ten loci that are highly differentiated between the two main genetic clusters, allowing inclusion of hundreds of low-quality samples and confirming that the ... : NOGO_SNP_GenotypingThis "Nogo_SNP_Genotyping.zip" file contains the raw data from the genotyping of 10 ancestry informative SNPs from Geraldes et al. 2018. Within, there are twenty files. Each contains the results from one run on a Viia7 Real-Time PCR system. For each SNP two plates were genotyped. The SNP genotyping results reported in Supporting Table 6 and visualized in Supporting Figure 2 of Geraldes et al. 2018, were obtained by plotting columns "Allele 1 Delta Rn" and "Allele 2 Delta Rn" from the two files for each SNP. The column "Sample Name" in these files corresponds to the column "Irwin Code" in Supporting Table 1 of Geraldes et al. 2018. ...
