Genetic distances (Φ_st) between Atlantic/Indic leatherback nesting populations.

Genetic distances based on 496bp and 711bp sequences. Significant values given by the exact test and after FDR correction are marked with (*) for the exact text and in bold for the Chi-square test (for a P<0.05 FDR496bp = 0.0109). AY: Awala-Yalimapo; BZ: Brazil; CA: Cayenne; CR Costa Rica (Atlanic); FL: Florida; FW: French West Indies; SA: South Africa; SC: St. Croix; SF: Suriname/FG; TR: Trinidad; DR: Dominican Republic. Pacific populations [61] were included in the analysis but have not been included in the table as all were significantly different from all Atlantic/Indic populations. N: pairwise comparison not possible as 711bp sequences were not available for some of the populations. PS: Present Study.
