  1. †“nm” and “nn” are the numbers of mimetic and non-mimetic females, respectively.
  2. ‡The numbers in parentheses are the genotype outcomes by HRM analysis. The statistical analysis was performed using the HRM data for this locality, assuming that genotyping by HRM analysis was correct (because direct sequencing might have featured some incorrect base calls).
