FIG. 2. — Genetic diversity around AGO2. Genetic diversity at all sites (upper row) and synonymous sites (middle row) is considerably reduced around AGO2 (positioned at zero on the x axis) in all three species. This is also reflected in the diversity/divergence ratio at synonymous sites (lower row: synonymous site diversity within species, θ_s, divided by divergence between species, K_S). Loci that are significantly different from AGO2 in individual pairwise HKA tests (Hudson et al. 1987) are marked on the diversity/divergence graphs with asterisks: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
