aAverage across 9 loci from [16], only comparisons within NW and SE subdivisions for An. gambiae (S-form)

bAverage across 13 chromosome-3 loci from [17], only comparisons within An. gambiae (S-form) excluding Mozambique

cAverage across 8 chromosome-3 loci from [19], only comparison within An. gambiae (S-form) between Tiko (mainland) and island site

dAverage across 11 chromosome-3 loci from [21], only comparison within An. gambiae (S-form) between Libreville (mainland) and island site

eGlobal FST for 6 loci between 7 island and 6 mainland villages, from [24]

fAverage across 17 loci from [25], only comparisons between island versus mainland sites; smaller value in parenthesis is average across 13 loci after removal of 4 in neighborhood of inversions (Table 6 of [25])

gBased on whole genome sequences from [9], comparisons limited to An. gambiae (S-form) excluding Kenya

hBased on 52- and 31-SNP arrays from [20]
