Geography is tested after transforming the Euclidean geographical distance matrix to a continuous rectangular vector by principal coordinates analyses (PCoA). In marginal tests, we tested each predictor separately, while in conditional (partial) tests geography was always included as covariate. The proportion of the multivariate genetic variation explained (% var) by a given predictor or set of predictors is indicated. Predictors with P < 0.05 in bold
