Inter-population F_ST statistic for pvron4

FST	Pacific coast	Urabá/lower Cauca/southern Córdoba	Orinoquia-Amazonia
Pacific coast		0.44043	0.31836
Urabá/lower Cauca/southern Córdoba	−0.00581		0.01465

F_ST was calculated for parasite populations in three Colombian regions. Values close to 0 indicate low genetic differentiation while values close to 1 indicate high genetic differentiation. Values below the diagonal indicate the F_ST value and those above the diagonal represent the p values. Values in italics indicate significant differences having p < 0.02
