  1. Number of mussels (N), mean number of alleles per site (Na), observed heterozygosity (HO), expected heterozygosity (HE), the fixation index (FIS) and the number of private alleles across all loci (AP). Sites are arranged north to south.
  2. N = number of mussels analysed; Na = number of alleles per locus (mean ± SD); HO = observed heterozygosity; HE = expected heterozygosity; FIS = fixation index; AP = total number of private alleles.
