The summary includes the assumed inheritance, the number of sequences analyzed, the length of the sequences (in base pairs), the number of alleles, the number of segregating sites (s), the number of parsimony-informative sites (PI sites), nucleotide diversity (π), and the estimated best-fit nucleotide substitution model. Statistics are drawn from ingroup sequences only, whereas best-fit nucleotide substitution models were estimated with outgroups.
