  1. Tajima’s D (DT) measures the difference between two estimates of nucleotide diversity, θπ and θw. Fay and Wu’s H (H) measures an excess of high compared to intermediate frequency variants. Statistical significance for each statistic was determined by comparing observed estimates to expected values under different scenarios of population growth (Additional file 2: Tables S3 and S4) Numbers in bold indicate significance at P < 0.05. 2N is the number of gene copies analyzed in each population; S is the number of segregating sites; h is the number of haplotypes; and h-diversity is the haplotype diversity. The number of singletons is listed for each population. The number of silent polymorphic sites (PS), replacement polymorphic sites (PN), silent divergent sites (DS), and replacement divergent sites (DN) in the LTα coding region is also given. Statistical significance for the McDonald–Kreitman (M-K) test was determined using the Fisher’s exact test; significant (P < 0.05) values are given in bold
