  1. Fixation indices for: among groups (FCT), taken as the three continents of Asia (India, Pakistan and China), Africa (Burkina Faso and Uganda) and Australia (Orbost, Dalmore and Werribee); among populations within groups (FSC), and within populations (FST). Non significant P value (NS). A total of 10 populations from India were pooled as no significant differences were found between populations.
