| Hypotheses | O. bimaculoides | O. hubbsorum | O. bimaculatus | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Effective population size (Ne) | Small | Medium | Large | (1 and 2) |

| Diversity of private alleles (RPA) | High | Medium | Low | (3 and 4) |
| Genetic structure (FST) | High | Medium | Low | (5, 6, and 7) |
| Genetic relatedness (R) | High | Medium | Low | (8 and 9) |
