P-value of average dispersion values per allele type: proportion of simulated values of dispersion that were lower than the observed ones. P-values less than 0.05 denotes a significantly lower than expected dispersion of alleles copy within a given allele type.

Significant loci: number of loci for which the observed average dispersion values were significantly lower than the simulated ones (P-value < 0.05). The number of loci for which observed dispersion values were lower than the average of simulated values, significantly or not, is given between parentheses.

^*,**One or two loci for which the average dispersion value was significantly higher than expected (i.e. P-value > 0.95).

^†Only 15 loci available.

Including or not ORS337 in the computation did not change the P-values.
