Table 3 Allele distributions in European populations of L. neglectus. The name of alleles (given as size in basepairs) and the number of alleles in each sampled population of L. neglectus, using the six microsatellite loci (Table 2). n, the total number of alleles scored in a population at a given locus. The populations are ordered by geography as in Figure 4.
