The genetic variability of the STR loci for each population.

The genetic variability of the STR loci for each population was computed considering all individuals and male and female genotypes separately: n, sample size; na, average number of alleles/locus; Ar, allelic richness; Au, number of unique alleles; HO, observed heterozygosity; HE, expected heterozygosity; PHWE, probability value for the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium test; χ2 test with relative degrees of freedom (df) (Fisher exact test, all loci). Departure from HWE was significant in all populations after Bonferroni correction (α = 0.05, α' = 0.05/60 = 0.0008).
