Table 1. Summary statistics of molecular diversity and coalescence times based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) from 10 locations in the Western Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans.
Total number of individuals (n), number of haplotypes (Nh), polymorphic sites (ps), haplotype diversity (h), nucleotide diversity (π), and effective haplotypes (Heff). Dashes represent incalculable values because Nh = 1. French Polynesia includes Mo’ore’a and Marquesas.
