N Number of samples, A Allelic richness, H_O Observed heterozygosity, H_E Expected heterozygosity, F_IS Observed heterozygosity relative to the heterozygosity expected under random mating [1], IR = Internal relatedness; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001; Pair number indicates the estimated number of breeding pairs during the time of sampling. Estimates for the Swedish sites were taken from Flodin et al. [29]
