Genomic DNA was extracted from the legs of each pupa (right leg of the second pair) or from ca. 1/3-1/2 of the larvae body using DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany) according to manufacturer’s instructions.
The PCR primers used were those developed for P. dominula (Henshaw 2000 (link)). PCRs were carried out in 5 μl reaction volumes containing 1× Type-it Microsatellite Kit (Qiagen), 0.07 μM forward primer, 0.2 μM reverse primer, 0.14 μM fluorescent-labeled M13 primer, and 1 μl (6–65 ng) of DNA template using a thermocycling profile of one cycle of 5 min at 96 °C followed by 30 steps of 30 s at 95 °C, 90 s at 50 °C, and 30 s at 72 °C, with a final step of 30 min at 65 °C.
Amplicons were fluorescently labeled in multiplexed reactions using a modified M13-tailing method (Oetting et al. 1995 (link)). The amplified alleles were separated on an ABI PRISM 3130XL (Applied Biosystems) with Genescan 600LIZ size standard and scored with the program Peak Scanner v 1.0 (Applied Biosystems).

We also genotyped the mapping family for 15 microsatellites, 10 that had previously been characterized in Larson et al. (2012a) (link) and Larson et al. (2012b) (link) (accession numbers JN375323– JN375329; JN375360; JX050156–JX050157) and five that were unpublished (accession numbers: KM203912–KM203916; see Supporting Information, Table S2 for further information). We used Qiagen Type-it microsatellite kit following manufacturer recommendations to run three multiplex PCRs. Each reaction contained five loci labeled with four different fluorescent dyes (Fam, Vic, Pet, and Ned). Two loci in each reaction mix were labeled with the same dye but had nonoverlapping product size. We diluted PCR products 1:15 in water and then mixed 1.5 μl of dilution with 18 μl of Hi-Di Formamide (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, USA) and 0.15 μl of GeneScan 500 LIZ Size Standard (Applied Biosystems). Samples were genotyped at the Cornell Life Sciences Core Laboratory Center on an Applied Biosystems 3730xl DNA Analyzer. We analyzed electropherograms with GeneMarker v2.4.0 (Softgenetics).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was isolated from individual mosquitoes using DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen, USA) as per the manufacturer’s protocol. Genotyping was performed using 12 microsatellite markers, including four tri-nucleotide repeats (A1, B2, B3, A9) and eight di-nucleotide repeats (AC2, CT2, AG2, AC4, AC1, AC5, AG1, and AG4) [24 ,44 (link)]. Amplification was performed with Qiagen Type-it-microsatellite kit using fluorescently labeled primers as described earlier [22 (link)]. Each forward primer had a M13 tail and two M13 primers each tagged with FAM and HEX, respectively were used to obtain fluorescent labeled amplified products. The labeling of the primers was categorized based on the size of the product as described in Brown et al., (2011) such as A9, AC4, AC1, AC5, A1, AC2 were tagged with FAM and B2, B3, AG1, AG5, CT2, AG2 with HEX [24 ]. Amplifications were checked in 2% agarose gel and the fragment analysis was done with ABI DNA analyzer 3730XL at Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB, Thiruvananthapuram). The genotyping analysis was done using Geneious Prime (Biomatters, NZ).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assign individuals to species, we amplified a partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, which is species-specific in Daphnia28 , from a subset of current-day populations (16 and 10 individuals from the heated and control lakes, respectively) and the resting eggs from sediment cores (6 eggs). The following primers were used: bcdF01: 5′-CATTTTCHACTAAYCATAARGATATTGG-3′ and bcdR04: 5′-TATAAACYTCDGGATGNCCAAAAAA-3′67 (link). COI gene sequences were amplified from 1 μL DNA template in 5 μL of PCR reaction mix, containing 2.5 μL Type-it Microsatellite Kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany), 0.25 μmol/L of each primer, and 2 μL of water. Thermocycling parameters were: one cycle of 5 min at 95 °C; 35 steps of 30 s at 95 °C, 1 min at 50 °C, and 1 min at 72 °C; and a final step of 5 min at 72 °C. The PCR product was visualised by electrophoresis on 1% agarose gel, purified using Exonuclease I and Alkaline Phosphatase (Thermo Scientific, San Jose, USA) for 15 min at 37 °C and 15 min at 80 °C, and Sanger sequenced using the BigDye Terminator v3.1 kit and an ABI Prism 3130XL Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA).

Microsatellite Allelic Variation Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Allelic variation was determined at 16 microsatellite loci (Supporting information Table S1) for all 120 individuals (Table 1). For each sample, two multiplex PCR reactions were performed using the Qiagen Type‐it Microsatellite kit in a 10‐μl reaction volume with 3 μl of extracted DNA, 5 μl of kit master mix and primers with concentrations and dyes as presented in Supporting information. PCR reactions were carried out in PTC200 Thermal Cyclers (MJ Research), and the temperature profile of the PCR program was suggested in the Type‐it Microsatellite kit manual. The annealing temperature was 56°C. The amplification products were separated by capillary electrophoresis on AB3130 Genetic Analyzers (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). The sizes of the microsatellite alleles were determined using Genemapper v. 4.0 software (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA), and manually checked. Deviations from Hardy‐Weinberg equilibrium in each population were tested using function hw.test from pegas package (Paradis, 2010) in R environment. A few loci showed a significant deviation from equilibrium within populations (2 in Tuhkajoki, 1 in Pohjajoki, 4 in Vaarainjoki and 2 in hatchery stock). However, as all microsatellite loci were in equilibrium in at least two populations, none were excluded from analysis.

Genotyping Ant Workers and Queens

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We extracted DNA from 116 workers per colony, as well as the mother queen, by placing a single antenna or leg in 100 μl of 10% Chelex solution (Chelex 100, 100–200 mesh, Bio-Rad), then incubating for 20 minutes at 95°C. We refrigerated or froze the supernatant before PCR.
We genotyped each worker at five variable loci (LIST2004, RUFA05, RUFA13, RUFA19, VMA3) using two multiplex PCR reactions [24 (link)–26 ]. Products at each locus were distinguished by employing simple dye-labeled primers (Applied Biosystems) and a 3-primer method [27 (link)], as well as fragment size for those labeled with the same dye. Each 10 μl PCR reaction included 1 μl of extracted DNA, 5 μl Qiagen master mix (Qiagen Type-It Microsatellite Kit, Qiagen Inc.), 0.2 μl of each reverse primer, 0.2 μl (dye-labeled) or 0.1 μl (3-primer labeled) of each forward primer, 0.15 μl FAM-labeled 3-primer tag for each 3-primer-labeled primer pair, and water. PCR reaction conditions were 95°C for 15 minutes, 35 cycles of 95°C for 30 seconds, 50°C for 90 seconds, 72°C for 60 seconds, followed by 60°C for 30 minutes. The fragment analysis was performed on an ABI-3730xl sequencer using 0.5 μl PCR product combined with 15 μl HiDi Formamide and 0.15 μl LIZ 500 internal size standard (Applied Biosystems). Allele sizes were called using GeneMarker (SoftGenetics LLC) and checked twice by eye.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We extracted DNA from approximately twenty workers or gynes per colony, as well as the mother queen when present, by placing a single antenna or leg in 100 μL of 10% Chelex solution (Chelex 100, 100–200 mesh, Bio-Rad), then incubating for 20 minutes at 95°C. We then refrigerated or froze the supernatant before PCR. Variable loci were selected based on preliminary screening of published loci [31 -33 (link)]. We used dye-labeled primers (Applied Biosystems) in combination with a 3-primer labeling method [34 (link)] to perform multiplex PCR with 4–6 primers, depending on the species (Additional file 1: Table S1). Each 10 μL PCR reaction included 1ul extracted DNA, 5 μL Qiagen master mix (Qiagen Type-It Microsatellite Kit, Qiagen Inc.), 0.2 μL of each reverse primer, 0.2 μL (dye-labeled) or 0.1 μL (3-primer labeled) of each forward primer, 0.15 μL FAM-labeled 3-primer tag for each 3-primer-labeled primer pair, and water to total 10 μL. PCR reaction conditions were 95°C for 15 minutes, 35 cycles of 95°C for 30 seconds, 50°C for 90 seconds, 72°C for 60 seconds, followed by 60°C for 30 minutes. Fragment analysis was performed on an ABI-3730 × l sequencer using 0.5 μL PCR product combined with 15 μL HiDi Formamide and 0.15 μL LIZ 500 internal size standard (Applied Biosystems). Allele sizes were called using GeneMarker (SoftGenetics LLC) and checked twice by eye.
