  1. The (N) number of individuals, number of base pairs analysed (bp), the number of unique haplotypes (h), haplotype diversity (Hd) and nucleotide diversity (Ï€) and global and Fst values are given for each comparison. Values in brackets represent the significance values or the standard deviations for mean estimates
