  1. Localities ordered from north to south, type of sample (B indicates blood, D dead animals and F faecal), number of samples successfully genotyped for microsatellites and sequenced for their mtDNA and microsatellites is given. Reported values correspond to population mean estimates of expected heterozygosity (He), observed heterozygosity (Ho), average number of alleles per locus (ANAPL) and inbreeding coefficient (FIS). All samples sequenced for the mtDNA were also genotyped with microsatellites except those marked with &. Significant FIS are marked with *
