Results of the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) for SNP data indicating the distribution of genetic variation (in %) into the different hierarchical levels.

p < 0.0001 ns ns < 0.0001 < 0.0001

The significance levels for the variance components were based on 20,000 permutations. ns = nonsignificant.

a denotes the intermediate level of hierarchy used in the analysis
