Table 2.

The estimated probability of the number of population (K) for prior values of K = 1 to 6 using a Bayesian clustering analysis of 89 unrelated cheetah samples as implemented in the program STRUCTURE (Pritchard et al. 2000). The highest likelihood was found for the 3 populations model (k = 3)
