Table 5. Population differentiation and genetic distance between each subpopulation within the Hondo red fox population* calculated based on the 1510 bp combined sequence of the mtDNA cytb gene and the D-loop region. Pairwise fixation index F ST and corrected average pairwise differences Pi XY are shown below and above the diagonal* respectively. Bold values are supported by significant difference after Bonferroni correction (P <0.001).
