cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial gene

Bioedit : alignment, haplotype identification confimation

Arlequin : Nei's nucleotide diversity (pi, probability that 2 randomly chosen homologous nucleotides are different)

  Watterson's theta (S, estimate of the population mutation rate using the no. of estimated from the infinite-site equilibrium relationship between the no. of segregating                             sites, the sample size and θ)

  AMOVA (analysis of molecular variance) hierarchical distribution of genetic variation among populations 

based on a priori population groupings based on no. of pairwise nucleotide differences

  genetic distance between pops. (using pairwise Φst / Nei's average no. of pairwise differences)

CONTRIB : haplotype no., haplotype richness, haplotype diversity contribution (after rarefaction to a population size of ...)

The number of alleles (allelic richness) in a population is a fundamental measure of genetic variation, and a

useful statistic for identifying populations for conservation. Estimating allelic richness is complicated by the

effects of sample size: large samples are expected to have more alleles. Rarefaction solves this problem. This

communication extends the rarefaction procedure to count private alleles and to accommodate hierarchical

sampling designs.

TCS : statistical parsimony network

MEGA : divergence among haplotypes (using Kimura 2-parameter...?)

BAPS (bayesian analysis of population structures) : examine population structure independent of set population groupings and allowing for admixture

XLstat : pearson's correlation test - relationships between introduced ages(reported) and genetic diversity (diversity Theta(S), haplotype richness)

            non-linear regression (using least squares method and default functions)
