  Within-population genetic variation, typically measured as allelic richness,
  observed/expected heterozygosity, or nucleotide diversity from molecular markers.
  One of four genetic-composition EBVs underpinning Kunming-Montreal GBF Headline
  Indicator A.4 (proportion of populations with effective population size > 500).
