Hd and π are haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity, respectively. D and F_S are tests of neutrality; Tajima's D and Fu's F_S, respectively. θ_f, N_f and g represent the current estimates of θ, current effective population size and growth rate estimated from LAMARC, respectively. ^nsP > 0.05, *P ≤ 0.05 and **P ≤ 0.01
