a

Number of fixed differences between populations.

b

Average number of nucleotide substitutions per site between populations or lineages.

c

Haplotype-based statistic (15); degrees of freedom are indicated in parenthesis.

d

Probability of rejecting the null hypothesis that the two populations are not genetically differentiated, based on the critical values from the χ2 distribution. *, 0.05 ≥ P > 0.01; **, 0.01 ≥ P > 0.001; NS, not significant.

e

Sequence-based statistic described by Hudson et al. (15).

f

Probability obtained by the permutation test (15) with 1,000 replicates. **, 0.01 ≥ P > 0.001; ***, 0.001 ≥ P; NS, not significant.

g

Sequence-based estimate described by Hudson et al. (15).

h

Effective number of migrants.
