Comparison of population genetic parameters between invasive and naturalized populations in the adventive range.

Statistical comparison of allelic richness (RS), observed heterozygosity (HO), gene diversity (HS), inbreeding coefficient (FIS), and levels of differentiation among populations (FST) for the invasive (N  = 14) and naturalized populations (N  = 16) of Pinus strobus within its adventive range in Europe. Probability values for differences between invasive and naturalized populations are given for two-sided t-test, after 10,000 permutations. The analysis was performed using Fstat software. Significant differences are indicated in bold.
