He also interviewed employees at the company who told him that another employee, David Smouse, had used a maintenance truck bay there to grind off the HIN number and to remove the boat's motor.
Fragments may also receive a higher proportion of long distance gene dispersal events from nearby continuous forest (Sork & Smouse, 2006; Bacles & Ennos, 2008).
To test whether Pomacea maculata follow an isolation-by-distance model in the study region, a Mantel test using 9,999 permutations and genetic and geographic matrices, based on genetic distance values calculated as [F.sub.ST]/(1 - [F.sub.ST]) (Rousset 1997) and straight-line distances between sampling locations, was performed using the Microsoft Excel add-in GenAlEx (Peakall & Smouse 2006, 2012).
Obtained results was analyzed through GenAlex v6.2 (PEAKALL AND SMOUSE, 2006) and PAST (Paleontological statistics software package for education and data analysis) (HAMMER, et al.
Basic population genetics parameters - such as number of different alleles (Na), number of effective alleles (Ne), observed, expected, and unbiased expected heterozygosity (Ho and He), inbreeding coefficients (FIS, FST, FIT) - were calculated for Cikta populations by means of the Microsatellite Analyser (Dieringer and Schrotterer, 2003) and the GenAlEx 6.503 (Peakall and Smouse, 2012) population genetics softwares.
To obtain a null distribution, without differentiation, of these statistics, randomization procedures were used, performed by the total decomposition of the components between and within the populations using squared distances, as described by Excoffier, Smouse, and Quattro (1992).
Using presence or absence data, the calculations of genetic distances (Fitzpatrick, 2009) and the degrees of similarities or dissimilarities of RAPD fragments between individuals and populations were carried out using Popgene and GenAlEx-6.5 (Peakall and Smouse, 2012).
Number of alleles (Na), effective number of alleles (Ne), observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), and the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test (HW) were calculated for each locus by the GenAlex software version 6.5 (PEAKALL & SMoUSE, 2012).
In order to determine the geographic signature of garden dormice in these regions basic population genetic parameters and principal coordinates analysis (PCA) were calculated using GENALEX6 (Peakall & Smouse 2006).
Smouse was convicted in March 2014 of second-degree reckless endangerment in a domestic violence case.<br />During jury selection, using challenges for cause, the defense successfully challenged two men and one woman.
