  1. Measures for mtDNA are haplotype diversity (H) and nucleotide diversity (π; Nei, 1987). Also, the average gene diversity ( H ¯ MathType@MTEF@5@5@+=feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfKttLearuWrP9MDH5MBPbIqV92AaeXatLxBI9gBaebbnrfifHhDYfgasaacH8akY=wiFfYdH8Gipec8Eeeu0xXdbba9frFj0=OqFfea0dXdd9vqai=hGuQ8kuc9pgc9s8qqaq=dirpe0xb9q8qiLsFr0=vr0=vr0dc8meaabaqaciaacaGaaeqabaqabeGadaaakeaadaqdaaqaaiabdIeaibaaaaa@2DD6@ ) as estimated from microsatellite allelic diversity is given. All values are ± standard deviations. Significance of differences within lakes through time and between lakes in each time period are shown in Table 6 for mtDNA.
