Table 3. Population differentiation among the 11 draught horse populations, based on 27 microsatellite loci, is presented by F ST estimates.a The estimates related to the sampled populations (434 horses) are presented above the diagonal, while the estimates for eight clustersb defined a posteriori (374 horses) are presented below the diagonal
