Ho = observed heterozygosity; He = expected heterozygosity; AR = Allelic richness estimated by rarefaction (N = 30 genes).

*Pantropical = mean across populations from Asia and the Americas.

**Lab strains = mean across Hamburg, Rockefeller, and Liverpool laboratory strains provided by David Severson (University of Notre Dame, Indiana).
