Table 1 Genetic diversity within our white-tailed deer population (nucleotide diversity and haplotype diversity) and neutrality tests for MHC-DRB exon 2 for the adult founding population [2003–2007; n = 69 (MHC-DRB), 71 (MHC-DOB extended sequence), 71 (MHC-DOB exon 2)] and the final adult population [2016; n = 118 (MHC-DRB), 119 (MHC-DOB extended sequence), 119 (MHC-DOB exon 2)]. P-values for the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium tests are also included, which shows a statistical significance for heterozygote excess in MHC-DRB exon 2 in the 2016 population
