Table 2. Results from analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) of population structure in Cyclina sinensis.
Marker/Grouping | Source of variation | d.f. | Φ-Statistics | % of variation | P value |
COI | Among groups | 2 | ΦCT = 0.732 | 73.3 | 0.0025 |
(Group I: 1–16; II: 17–20; III: 21)* | Among populations within groups | 18 | ΦSC = 0.212 | 5.7 | < 0.0001 |
Within populations | 314 | ΦST = 0.790 | 21.0 | < 0.0001 | |
ITS-1 | Among groups | 2 | ΦCT = 0.876 | 87.6 | 0.0004 |
(Group I: 8, 9, 11, 13–16; II: 17–20; III: 21)* | Among populations within groups | 9 | ΦSC = 0.084 | 1.0 | 0.0140 |
Within populations | 90 | ΦST = 0.886 | 11.4 | < 0.0001 |
Significant P values are bolded. * Populations were assigned to three groups consistent with sea basins. See Table 1 for site number.
