TABLE 1.

Estimates of the mean polymorphism and genetic diversity for 149 bears in Greece based on 11 microsatellite loci for the three genetically differentiated populations of Peristeri, Pindos, and Rhodope (N = sample size of each genetic cluster, A _L = mean number of alleles per locus, A _R = mean allelic richness per locus, A _P = private alleles, H _o = mean observed heterozygosity, H _e = mean expected heterozygosity, F _IS = inbreeding coefficient, Weir & Cockerham 1984)
