Genetic diversity indices in the GenDivRange dataset and their validation. (a) The different marker types present in the dataset. (b) The different genetic diversity indices reported in the dataset. (c) Expected and observed heterozygosity across all populations indicate potential deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (diagonal line) in several populations. All taxa together, but Herbaceous plants are highlighted because they contain several selfing species with low observed heterozygosity. (d) The relationship between the mean number of alleles and the expected heterozygosity in the observed data and their expectation under two mutation models: Infinite alleles model (IAM) and Stepwise mutation model (SMM).
