* FST values statistically different from zero, indicating genetic differentiation (p < 0.05).

The fixation index, FST, ranges from 0 to 1 and measures the degree of genetic relatedness between two pairs of populations by comparing the variation observed in the subpopulation with the variation observed in the total population. Values approaching 0 represent panmixia, whereas values approaching 1 represent complete genetic isolation (non-interbreeding populations). Our findings show low to moderate genetic differentiation, with the greatest degree of differentiation observed for Barrio Florida (highest FST values overall) and a lower degree of differentiation for Iquitos sites (lower FST values).

Genetic variation was compared within and between populations by AMOVA. Among all sites, approximately 71.5% of the variation was attributable to differences among individuals, whereas 24.5% of the variation was explained by individuals within populations, and just 4.1% among collections within Iquitos (Table 4).

FCT, differentiation among groups.

FSC, differentiation among populations within groups (Iquitos samples).

FIS, differentiation among individuals within populations.

FIT, differentiation within individuals.

*Statistically significant values (p < 0.05).

AMOVA results showed that 71.5% of the total variation observed was attributable to differences within individuals; only 4.1% of the total variation was attributable to differences among samples collected within Iquitos, indicating a lack of genetic structure within the city.
