  1. Diversity: N: sample size, A 0: Total number of alleles, R s: rarefied allele richness (among k = 46 gene copies per locus), He: expected heterozygosity corrected for sample size, F i: inbreeding coefficient estimated by INEst, R priv: private alleles richness (k = 46), Differentiation: F ST below and R ST above the diagonal; tests of phylogeographical signal (i.e. R ST > F ST) were non-significant, Under parentheses: corrected F ST using the ENA correction method for null alleles described in Chapuis and Estoup (2007)
