  1. Abbreviations: n=actual number of alleles observed; Â=allelic richness (corrected in population A to account for smaller sample set in population B); HO=observed heterozygosity; HE=expected heterozygosity; HW=Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium; NS=non-significant deviation; NA=test not applied.
  2. **Represents significant deviation from HW at the 1% level. Average values (italicised) are given for each category where applicable. P-WSR=the probability that measures of genetic diversity are significantly different between the two populations (calculated using Wilcoxon signed rank tests). Differences between the allele and genotype frequencies of the two populations were calculated using exact Fisher's tests and the P-values given (NS: P>0.05).
