Test model	Variability of multilocus gene sequences
Test model	No. of MLGs	Hd	k	Pi	Theta (k)	Fs (Obs)	P (Fs ≤ Obs)
Polymorphic sites	662	0.994	83.173	0.0330	83.173	-6.680	0.010
Segregating sites	49	0.768	8.379	0.004	8.379	1.144	0.133

Abbreviations: Hd gene diversity, k mean number of pairwise differences, Pi nucleotide diversity (average over loci), theta (k) gene variance based on the mean number of pair-wise differences, Fs Fu’s statistic testing selective neutrality based on genotype frequency, Obs observed value, P (Fs ≤ Obs) probability of obtaining Fs values equal or lower than the observed
