Number of alleles per locus (At), number of alleles per population (Ni), observed heterozygosity (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) by locus for each geographical sample (Eastern, Central and Western). --, Monomorphic; Mean, average over eight loci; A, average number of alleles (allelic richness); %P, percentage of polymorphic loci. N_♂, male sample size; N_♀, female sample size; N_SSA, smaller subadults sample size (between 160 to 210 g); N_SA-A, larger subadults and adults sample size (bigger than 210 g); N_T, total sample size. All individuals belong to a post-dispersal age [8,11]. Significant deviations between observed and expected levels of heterozygosity in each geographical sample and locus by locus are shown. * 0.001 < P < 0.05; and ** P < 0.001.
