  1. n, number of samples analysed, aR, allelic richness; He, mean expected heterozygosity; Ho, mean observed heterozygosity; PHW, P value of the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium deviation test; FIS, inbreeding coefficient.
  2. aAll unpaired t-test values between contemporary and historical samples (excluding GOM, HTAV) were non-significant.
