Population differentiation (FST), genetic diversity, linkage disequilibrium, and inbreeding coefficient of different sika deer populations. A Genetic differentiation statistics (FST) of different sika deer populations. B, C. nucleotide diversity (θπ) (B) and Observed heterozygosity (C) of different sika deer populations. D Genome-wide average linkage disequilibrium decay estimated from different sika deer populations. E Inbreeding coefficient of the 9 sika deer populations. The inbreeding coefficient is calculated as the fraction of runs of homozygosity (ROH). The TW and SM populations were excluded in these analyses since only two samples were collected at both sites; thus, we were unable to provide an accurate assessment for these two populations
