Table 1. Correlation coefficients among the studied variables: the level of neutral polymorphism (θneu), the level of normalized neutral polymorphism (Pneu = θneu/dneu), recombination rate (RR), GC content (GC), the density of simple repeats (RD), the divergence at coding sites (Dn), the divergence at conserved noncoding region (Dx), the number of codons (FDn), the number of conserved noncoding sites (FDx), and the level of neutral divergence (dneu).

Spearman's ρ and Kendall's τ are given at the upper and lower diagonal parts of the table, respectively. P-values are given in parentheses for marginally significant (1e-20≤P<1e-3) and nonsignificant (NS, P> = 1e-3) values.
