Table 3 Measures of intra-population genetic variability based on analyses of microsatellite markers. Sample size (N), P-values of the Fisher’s exact test for deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), expected heterozygosity based on Nei estimate (H_E), observed heterozygosity (HO) and allelic richness estimated for 8 individuals using rarefaction (AR). Populations are ranked from highest AR
