Pairwise F_ST was calculated by using conventional F-statistics (haplotype frequencies only), and Φ_ST was calculated by using a project distance matrix. The F_ST value was defined as follows: below 0.05 indicating a small degree of genetic differentiation among the populations; from 0.05 to 0.15 indicating a moderate degree of genetic differentiation; from 0.15 to 0.25 indicating great genetic differentiation; and above 0.25 indicating much great genetic differentiation [30]
