Abbreviations: h, haplotype diversity; Ho, observed heterozygosity; He, expected heterozygosity; k, average number of alleles; mtDNA, mitochondrial DNA; π, nucleotide diversity; Rs, allelic richness.

k is not corrected for sample size differences; therefore, Rs and private allelic richness were also calculated using the rarefaction method implemented in HP-RARE.
