a

Parameters a and b were estimated using equation (2). The distances (O50 and O90) where gene flow was reduced by 50 and 90% were estimated using equations (3) and (4), respectively.

b

Estimates of the parameters for intercept (a), slope (b) and the estimates of the distances where gene flow was reduced by 50 and 90%.

c

Degree of freedom.
