Abbreviations: N number of sequences, S number of polymorphic sites, Eta total number of mutations, Hd haplotype diversity
^aπ is an index of nucleotide diversity. This measure is defined as the average number of nucleotide differences per site between any two DNA sequences chosen randomly from the sample population
^bThe mutation parameter (θ) is defined as 4 Nm for autosomal loci of diploid organisms, where N is the effective population size (diploid individuals) and m is the neutral mutation rate (per gene or per base pair) per generation
