The correlation between genetic diversity, represented by the expected heterozygosity He, and lifetime expectancy LTE was robust to the estimation errors existing in both estimates, even for a large decrease in the number of loci considered, indicating that despite correlations being based on five populations only, the statistical power was sufficient, given the existing estimation errors. A bootstrap procedure with 1000 random drawings was used to obtain these results (see text for details).
