Table 4.

Result of AMOVA (Analysis of Molecular Variance) for the 14 floating populations of Sargassum horneri based on seven microsatellite markers.

df % variation Fixation indices P-value
Among temporal groups 4 9.64 FCT = 0.10 0.19
Among populations within temporal groups 8 20.80 FSC = 0.23 <0.001
Within populations 425 69.55 FST = 0.30 <0.001

The temporal AMOVA was performed by classifying the floating populations into five different groups according to sampling periods (Feb 2015, Mar 2016, Feb 2017, Apr–May 2017 and Dec 2017–Jan 2018; see “Methods” section in more details).
