No. seqs.= the total number of Assemblage A, B, and H sequences obtained at the glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) and triose phosphate isomerase (tpi) loci from all samples and the total number of sequences obtained from three seal species; No. haplotypes = the number of unique haplotypes obtained from our entire dataset for Assemblages A, B, and H and the total number of haplotypes obtained from three seal species; π = percent nucleotide polymorphism for Assemblages A, B, and H for our entire dataset and for three seal species.
