A, number of alleles per locus; AE, effective number of alleles per locus; ARare, total number of rare alleles; HO, observed heterozygosity; HE, expected heterozygosity; F, fixation index; and NE (Coalescence), long-term effective population size based on coalescence genealogy; NE (LD), contemporary effective population size based on linkage disequilibrium (LD). The NE means followed by * are significantly different (p < 0.05) between old-growth and second-growth populations. See Table 1 for population information.
