  1. N, number of sampled individuals; S, number of segregating sites (excluding indels); h, number of haplotypes; Hd, haplotype diversity; K, average number of differences; π, nucleotide diversity*10-3; D, Tajima´s D statistic value where statistically significances P < 0.05 are marked with *; θs, ‘Theta’ derived from the observed number of segregating sites (S) and θπ from the observed mean number of pairwise nucleotide differences (π).
