Table 1.
Genetic diversity estimates for three time‐period populations. Number of sampled animals (N), absolute number of alleles per locus (n a), effective number of alleles per locus (n e), effective number of private alleles per population (p e), expected (H e) and observed (H o) heterozygosities in studied populations over all loci, mean number of heterozygote loci/individual (N het), and variance of heterozygote loci/individual (Var)
| Population | N | n a | n e | p e | H e | H o | N het | Var |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Young | 17 | 4.6 | 3.49 | 0.67 | 0.60 | 0.62 | 6.18 | 2.15 |
| Middle‐aged | 8 | 3.0 | 2.71 | 0.27 | 0.51 | 0.42 | 4.75 | 1.07 |
| Old | 6 | 4.2 | 3.99 | 1.11 | 0.68 | 0.78 | 7.67 | 0.27 |
