For each species and each genetic distance, the table provides the results of a MRDM (multiple regressions on distance matrices) analysis and additional parameters derived from CA (commonality analysis) after having successively removed identified suppressors. For each environmental factor, are provided: Pearsons correlation coefficient (r), β weights (β), as well as unique and common contributions (U, C) of environmental distances to the variance in the dependent variable. MRDM-CAs were each time performed between one genetic distances matrix and several matrices of environmental distances. (*) refers to significant determination coefficients R2 or β-values (p-values < 0.05 after Benjamini–Hochberg correction), “C”/“R” indicate if the considered environmental raster was respectively treated as a conductance or resistance factor, and k corresponds to the parameter used to transform the initial raster file (see the text for further details)
