Table 1.

Genetic diversity (π), private alleles, total nucleotide sites examined and percentage of polymorphic sites in Death Valley pupfishes and additional pupfish outgroups for comparison (EW = extinct in the wild based on IUCN designation or unpublished observations). (The number of individuals sequenced in each population is indicated (electronic supplementary material, appendix S1).)
