Table 4 Genetic diversity within Myotis blythii s.l. (n = 84 individuals analyzed) and M. myotis (n = 113 individuals) based on the genotype of 8 nuclear microsatellite loci. The fixation index (Fst) measured between the two species at each locus and overall is also indicated. Beyond an Fst value of about 0.15, this index suggests that there is practically no gene flow between the two assayed populations or species. Abbreviations: A number of alleles; Ho observed heterozygosity; He expected heterozygosity. (Data from Furman et al. (2014))

From: Lesser Mouse-Eared Bat Myotis blythii (Tomes, 1857)
