F
-statistics (
F
IS
,
F
IT
and
F
ST
) introduced by Wright (1951)
and modified by Weir & Cockerham (1984) are routinely
used for apportioning the variance in allele frequencies
among and within populations.
R
ST
was developed as a
counterpart to
F
ST
for use with loci which are assumed
to follow a generalized SMM (Slatkin 1995).
F
- and
R
-
statistics were calculated using
genepop
.
