* N = population size; NA = total number of alleles per locus and mean number of alleles per population, respectively; NS = mean allelic richness standardized to the smallest sample size (42) using the rarefaction method of FSTAT 2.9.3 [66] per locus and population; mean expected (HE) and observed (HO) heterozygosities as well as mean FIS = Wright's statistics per locus and population. Bold FIS values are significant probability estimates after Bonferroni correction [69]
