Shown are: mean GC%, number of polymorphic sites including gaps (S), the total number of mutations (η),average number of pairwise nucleotide differences per site among the sequences (π), number of haplotypes (h) and haplotype diversity (Hd).
• The total number of individuals includes the singleton B. afer.
