Clines were fitted using scaled Logit function (Equation in Appendix S6).

*

Denotes inferred parameters: cline centre (c), cline slope-related parameter (b), lower asymptotic frequency (h1), allelic frequency step between the two populations (hp) and cline angle (θ).

Holds for a posteriori computed parameters. These are h2, the higher asymptotic frequency Inline graphic, cline slopes Inline graphic and for non-flat clines, cline widths (4/b, in km). LL is log likelihood. For each locus, slope significance was tested using likelihood ratio tests against a null model assuming homogeneous allele frequency over the study area. Deviance (Dev) is given with significant values (5% level) highlighted in bold × indicates situations in which parameters could not be computed (see text for details).
