Table 1.
Genetic diversity of D. dugon within six broad and regionally defined populations, and between eastern and western genetic clades. Standard measures given are the number of individuals (N); haplotype diversity (h); the number of haplotypes (Nh); segregating sites (S); nucleotide diversity (π); Tajima’s D (TD); Fu and Li’s F (F). Significant p-values (<0.05) in TD and F analyses are indicated with an asterisk. ID indicates insufficient individuals to compute the statistic.
