^*A is the mean number of alleles per SNP, H_Ois the average observed heterozygosity; H_Eis the average unbiased expected heterozygosity (Nei 1978); F is the average fixation index; SD is the standard deviation;

^†P ≤ 0.01 based on 10 000 permutations between individuals within the same population.
