Bold values show average values of the parameters for regions.
N—number of analysed individuals; A—average number of alleles; AR₍₁₀₎—allelic richness based on minimum sample size; P_A—number of private alleles; H_O—observed heterozygosity; H_E—expected heterozygosity; F_IS—inbreeding coefficient estimated including ‘null alleles’ correction; Null—null allele frequency.
