Bold character indicates conservation and management units which have more than 10 samples. Chokai Sanchi, Southern Ouu, Southern Alps and Kii Hanto units are excluded due to small number of samples. He: the expected heterozygosity; Ho: the observed heterozygosity. πS or π: the nucleotide diversity. h: the haplotype diversity. *: a significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.01). ( ): the number of haplotype data analyzed by [5]. a: the number includes subhaplotypes. b: the number was taken from the result of an identification of individuals using microsatellite analysis [90] because samples were obtained by hair trap. c: the number is samples that are newly added to samples used in our previous study [8]. d: the π value described in [8] (π = 0.001) was incorrect, and 0.01 was a correct value.
