Allele size range (in bp), allelic richness (AR), private alleles (PA) (No, observed number of alleles; MAF, major allele frequency, Na, mean number of alleles; Ne, the effective number of alleles), marker in informativeness (PIC, polymorphism information content), heterozygosity (Ho, observed; He, expected; Ht, total). HWE: ns stands for “not significant,”  < 0.01,  < 0.001,  < 0.05,  < 0.01,  < 0.001.
