Patterns of genetic variation in the endangered European mink (Mustela lutreola L., 1761)

Table 1 MtDNA diversity estimates and neutrality test results for European mink dataset I^a and dataset II^b. The variables provided are: number of sampled individuals (n), number of observed haplotypes (N_h) with private haplotypes (P_h) in brackets, and haplotype (h) and nucleotide (π) diversities with standard deviations (SD) in brackets. None of the neutrality tests performed were significant (P > 0.05)

^aBecause of the presence of only a single haplotype in the West, this region is not included in the table
^bResults for the Danube river correspond to those obtained for the southeastern region
