Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) partitioning the total residual variance (after deducting the non-informative variance between microsatellite loci) observed at 16 microsatellite loci in 1966 miracidia between four hierarchical levels.
| Hierarchical level | df | Sum of squares | Variance component | Percentage of residual variation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Among sites | 3 | 25,659 | 7.83 | 31.8 |
| Among children within sites | 87 | 68,119 | 14.26 | 57.8 |
| Among miracidia within child | 1875 | 320,706 | 2.78 | 10.4 |
| Within miracidia (between microsatellite loci) | 1966 | 326,144 | 165.89 | – |
| Total | 3931 | 740,628 | 190.55 | – |
