N: number of animals; H_E: expected heterozygosity based on the observed genotype frequencies; H_O: observed heterozygosity; F_IS: Wright’s inbreeding coefficient, significance was determined using the diversity package, after 1000 bootstraps the 95% bias corrected confidence interval was used to determine if the estimated F_IS is significantly different from 0; PIC: polymorphic information content; N. A.: Not applicable
