Note: To avoid isolates that would result from too stringent a critical distance, we used the threshold distance of 4500 km and a row standardized spatial matrix (the threshold distance specifies that region i is a neighbor of j if the distance between them is less than a specified maximum distance [123]). Significance levels: ** p ≤ 0.05, * p ≤ 0.1.
