n, number of alleles sampled (twice the number of individuals); L, nominal (maximum) length of coding sequence determined for each allele (base pairs); Lc, length of shared homology for all alleles in sample (used to calculate π, θW, DT, and FST); S, number of segregating (polymorphic) sites; π, nucleotide diversity (heterozygosity); θW, population mutation parameter estimated from segregating sites; DT, Tajima's D; shared polymorphisms, sites where the same two nucleotides occur in both samples; fixed differences, sites fixed for different nucleotides in the two samples; (nearly), one sample is fixed for the nucleotide that is less frequent in the other sample, or the difference in nucleotide frequencies exceeds 0.75; FST, inbreeding (fixation) of subpopulations (hemispheres) relative to the total (nominal species), estimated by the method of Hudson et al. (1992).
