Bold font indicates that the fixation index is statistically > 0.

*

Regions putatively colonized from different glacial refuges (Wood 1995, Wood et al. unpublished data).

Units are defined as either sites or ecotypes (see column 1).

Samples refer to the individual populations in Supplementary Table 1.
