The populations are ordered from South to North. n = number of individuals; NA = alleles within a population; As = alleles within a sampling area; PA = private alleles; H_o = observed heterozygosity, H_e = expected heterozygosity; AR = allelic richness; Ne = effective population size by linkagedisequilibrium method (Ne (LDNe)) and by coancestry method (CNe)
