- The number of samples (populations/individuals) used in hierarchical resampling models is also shown. The asterisks indicate the sites severely affected by the tsunami or subsidence. The rarefied allelic richness and M-ratio did not significantly change after the tsunami at all of the study sites (P > 0.05). Note that the estimated M-ratio values can be inflated because of the presence of an imperfect repeat in some microsatellite loci36 .
