Expectations (means) of parameters, P values, and 95% confidence intervals (C.I.) are based on 10,000 coalescent simulations assuming no recombination, as implemented in DnaSP (27). P (KKo) refers to the proportion of simulations yielding a value as low as or lower than the observed Ko. When treated separately, the K test remains significant for the European samples (Norway: Ko = 3, S = 11; Finland: Ko = 2, S = 8), as is true for the Colorado sample when only the 11 sequenced plants are considered.
