Average heterozygosity and standard deviation (SD) and number of alleles with SD are shown for the pre- and post-El Niño time samplings of specific populations. Values of FST and locus specific heterozygosity values were calculated between time point samplings. In the last column, only the p values of the corresponding Wilcoxon signed-ranks test are provided for the locus specific differences in heterozygosity between time samplings of a specific population. The actual locus specific heterozygosity values can be found in Table S2. Significant differentiation (p<0.05) of FST values and locus specific heterozygosity values are marked with an asterisk (*).
