Estimates of MHC genetic diversity for alleles recovered in Ch. mydas and Ca. caretta, including turtle sample sizes (N), allele sample size (n), average number of alleles observed per individual, segregating sites over 162 bp and nucleotide diversity.
| species | turtles sampled (N) | alleles sampled (n) | average number of alleles observed (s.d.) | segregating sites | nucleotide diversity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ch. mydas | 268 | 98 | 3.5 ± 1.4 | 106 (65.43%) | 0.201021837 |
| Ca. caretta | 88 | 32 | 3.9 ± 1.5 | 95 (58.64%) | 0.2347795 |
