Three statistics are given χ2, a haplotype frequency-based statistic, KST*, a sequence-based statistic, and Snn. Levels of significance are coded as follows: ns, not significant; *0.01 < P < 0.05; **0.001 < P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. For each population, comparison the results are given as χ2/KST*/Snn. Populations are coded as in Table 1 and Fig. 2A. Numbers in parenthesis are sample sizes.

One-thousand permutations were made per test. Here, we perform 18 pair-wise comparisons, with 18 tests there is a 60.28% probability of finding a significant result by chance. Calculation of a strict Bonferroni adjustment without correlation, something we view as overly conservative in our situation, would require an alpha of 0.05, a P-value of 0.0027.
