  1. Group D was separated between diploids and triploids because it was the only case where these biotypes were exclusively allopatric. Genetic diversity was measured by the dispersion of the individuals from the centroid based on the polysat distance accounting for the number of mutation steps. Groups designated by different lower case letters are significantly different (results of Tukey test)
