Summary statistics of the genetic diversity of 13 geographical breed groups; group names, number of breeds (Nb of breeds), sample sizes (N), observed (H_o) and unbiased expected (H_e) heterozygosities, mean number alleles (MNA), and allelic richness corrected for sample size (R_t) are shown; SD = standard deviation.
