H_S, average genetic diversity within populations; H_T, total gene diversity; G_ST, interpopulation haplotype differentiation; N_ST, interpopulation haplotype differentiation taking into account sequence difference; ns, N_ST not significantly different from G_ST (P>0.05); NC, not computed due to small sample size or low variation among populations.
