Table 1.

Estimates of nucleotide diversity (π in % [43]) in five gene segments (loci) among three olive taxa. π is given for each locus and on the total dataset. n is the number of sequences (haplotypes) used for each taxon. The standard error of these values was estimated with bootstrapping on haplotypes (100 replicates). Estimates for the Mediterranean (europaea) and African (cuspidata) olives are based on sequences isolated from 17 and 13 native wild olives, respectively [36].
