Table 1 Genetic diversity and gene flow estimates for adult luciferase (LUC1), and LW and UV opsin. Measures are given for the alignment of entire sequences (ALL) and only coding sequences (CDS). The number of individuals sequenced (N), number of variable sites (VS), number of synonymous (Syn) and nonsynonymous (NSyn) mutations within the coding sequence, the position of nonsynonymous mutations in the nucleotide alignment (Site), haplotype diversity (Hd +/− (SD)), nucleotide diversity (π +/− (SD)), Fst [84], and Tajima’s D [104] are given

From: Molecular variation across populations of a widespread North American firefly, Photinus pyralis, reveals that coding changes do not underlie flash color variation or associated visual sensitivity
