The observed number of alleles (Na), effective number of alleles (Ne), Nei’s (1973) gene diversity (H), Shannon’s index (I), percent polymorphic loci (PPL), and gene flow estimate (Nm) values were calculated using POPGENE v1.32. Nm was also calculated according to the formula, Nm = (1 - Gst)/4Gst (Slatkin and Barton, 1989). *Mean values for Na, Ne, H, and I for cross-fertilized and hermaphroditic populations were compared using the Student’s t-test and found not to be significantly different (p = 0.3169, 0.0525, 0.0583, and 0.0690, respectively, for the comparisons).
