Genetic diversity metrics, including Tajima’s D and Fu and Li’s F* and D* statistics, were calculated using DNASP software. Significance testing in DNASP is based on coalescent simulations under the neutral model. The reported p-values are approximate and represent two-sided tests. ASV Amplicon Sequence Variant; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 (statistical significance levels).
