a

Dxy is the average nucleotide divergence between groups.

b

The maximum interspecies ANI values are shown in the upper and lower triangles.

c

Minimum intraspecies ANI values (off-island/island) calculated with off-island and island genes, respectively.

d

Nm, number of migrants.

e

The underlined values were calculated with island genes, and the other values were calculated with off-island genes.
