TABLE 1.
Genetic summary statistics and sample sizes (N) for 11 white‐tailed deer genetic clusters in the Mid‐Atlantic region of the United States inferred from Geneland. Genetic cluster designations correspond to Figure 1. Measures of genetic diversity include allelic richness (N A), observed heterozygosity (H O), expected heterozygosity (H E), and the number of private alleles (P A). Recent immigration rates (m imm) were used to define general patterns of genetic connectivity
