  1. Key: n: number of sequences considered for the analysis; S: number of polymorphic sites; k: average number of pairwise nucleotide differences; p: nucleotide diversity; h; number of haplotypes; Hd: haplotype diversity.
  2. Fu’s Fs: The underlined Fu’s Fs statistic values are statistically significant.
  3. Species represented by <3 specimens were not included in the analyses. NA: not applicable (at least four sequences needed).
