  1. Algarvia is represented by the 33 animals identified with STRUCTURE
  2. CB: Weitzman estimate of between-breed genetic diversity; CW: within-breed genetic diversity; D1: aggregate genetic diversity, 0.089*CB + 0.911*CW; ci: contribution of each breed to a pool of maximal genetic diversity [49]
