F-statistics and associated dispersal rates in M. arvalis In the non-hierarchical analysis, F_ST quantifies the genetic differentiation among localities. In the hierarchical analysis, F_LocTot quantifies the genetic differentiation between localities within the total and F_ColLoc the differentiation between colonies within localities. Dispersal rate between localities (d2) and total dispersal rate (d1 + d2) are computed from the non-hierarchical and hierarchical sex- and state-specific analyses, respectively. Dispersal rate between colonies within localities (d1) is derived from the previous estimates. Confidence intervals (95%) are in brackets.
