  1. Abbreviations: EST, expressed sequence tag; He, expected heterozygosity; indels, insertion–deletions; Rs, allelic richness; SSRs, simple sequence repeats.
  2. Molecular genetic diversity indices were Rs and He, both corrected for the minimum species sample size per locus. Standard errors are given in brackets after each measure.
