  1. Results for all Mediterranean subsamples on the one hand, and Black Seas subsamples on the other hand, are in italics. Results for all subsamples are in bold.
  2. N: number of biallelic individuals successfully genotyped, Nall: mean number of alleles per locus, Ar: allelic richness based on minimum sample size of 5 diploid individuals, removing sample 11, HS: gene diversity, FIS: fixation index, g2: estimate of the identity disequilibrium.
  3. *P-values from U test for heterozygote deficiency and for g2 = 0 < 0.05, **p-values < 0.01 and ***p-values < 0.001.
