N: number of samples; N A: average number of alleles per marker; A: number of private alleles; H O: observed heterozygosity; F IS: inbreeding coefficient; PI23: probability of identity for increasing locus combinations at all 23 loci, PI18: probability of identity for increasing locus combinations at 18 loci (17 autosomal microsatellite markers and Z37B).

One autosomal microsatellite (Aptowe28) was excluded from Apteryx australis, so values described here for this species are PI22, PIsibs22, PI17, and PIsibs17. Bold type reflects values for the five recognized species, normal type for recognized taxa within the species.
