^a“G” denotes the number of multilocus genotypes corrected for sample size. “D” denotes the Simpson diversity index, also known as the Nei genetic diversity, corrected for sample size and ranging from 0 (where 2 randomly chosen individuals in a population share a single genotype) to 1 (where individuals have different genotypes). “E” denotes the genotypic evenness, which ranges from 0 (where one or a few genotypes dominate in a population) to 1 (where all genotypes are of equal frequency in a population).

^b“N_e” denotes the number of effective alleles [31]. “He” denotes the expected heterozygosity corrected for sample size [32].
