highly significantp = 0.012
Partial correlations between estimated population size and the allele diversity indices, after controlling for the effect of sample size, were positive and highly significant (Number of alleles, r = 0.82, p = 0.012; polymorphism information content, r = 0.659, p = 0.054; Shannon's index of diversity, r = 0.714, p = 0.036).
