Summary of genetic variation in populations of Neoceratodus forsteri based on eleven microsatellite loci.

Number of specimens (N); observed heterozygosity (HO) and expected heterozygosity (HE) presented as average across loci with one standard deviation; inbreeding coefficient (FIS) averaged across loci with asterisk denoting populations with significant heterozygote deficiency. Effective population size (NE) estimates with 95% parametric confidence intervals in parentheses were calculated using the linkage disequilibrium method excluding alleles with frequency AR) and private allelic richness (ARpriv) rarefied to minimum sample size of 16 alleles. Bottleneck results correspond to one-tail Wilcoxon test for heterozygote excess, NS = not significant. M-ratio is the Garza-Williamson index following [28].Summary of genetic variation in populations of Neoceratodus forsteri based on eleven microsatellite loci.
