AMOVA (molecular analysis of variance) output for 4 geographic populations of Aiolopus thalassinus (K, T, G, and N) relying on RAPD markers

Source of variation	df	SSD	Variance component	% total variance	P-value
Among populations	3	26.28	2.73	67.60	<0.0001
Among subpopulations	7	9.16	1.30	32.40	<0.0001
Total	10	35.45	4.04

Statistics included degrees of freedom (df), sum of squared differences (SSD), variance component estimates, percentages of total variance (% total variance) contributed by the variance component, and the probability (P) of obtaining a more extreme component estimate by chance. The P-value is estimated from 1,023 sampling permutations.
