  1. Information in the table includes sample size (n), mean number of alleles per locus (Na), mean number of effective alleles (Ne), mean allelic richness (AR), mean observed and expected heterozygosities (Ho and He), mean inbreeding coefficient (FIS). Standard error is given between brackets. Statistical significance: *P < 0.02
