Sample locations and number of individuals (N) are shown. Number of haplotypes (Nh), haplotype diversity (h), and nucleotide diversity (π) are listed for the cytochrome b dataset. Number of alleles (Na), observed heterozygosity (HO), and expected heterozygosity (HE) are listed for the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), and S7 ribosomal protein gene (S7) nuclear introns. P-values are the result of exact tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium using a Markov chain with 100,000 steps in ARLEQUIN 3.5 [42].
