Populations	W	P	X	Zh
W	4.04	6.84 (p = 0.000)	7.04 (p = 0.000)	9.48 (p = 0.000)
P	2.68 (p = 0.001)	4.28	7.27 (p = 0.000)	8.81 (p = 0.000)
X	2.40 (p = 0.001)	2.51 (p = 0.001)	5.23	7.10 (p = 0.000)
Zh	6.01 (p = 0.000)	5.22 (p = 0.000)	3.03 (p = 0.001)	2.89

Above diagonal: average number of pairwise differences between populations (PiXY). Diagonal elements: average number of pairwise differences within populations (PiX). Below diagonal: corrected average pairwise difference [PiXY − (PiX + PiY)/2]. Corrected average pairwise differences, which are statistically different, are indicated.
