1For both (a) and (c) the levels tested are the regions, sites, and individuals. In (b) the Palos Verdes region is considered because for this region it is possible to define subregional grouping based on habitat and sampling schemes [adjacent groups were defined as follows: (AB, AB2, AB3, ABR), (RP1, RP2), and (FR1, FR2). AMOVA were conducted in Arlequin using pairwise distances between populations.

2The Point Loma region contained only the SD site for the RISP results and was therefore not included as a separate group.
