British origin of Australian populations. (A) Map of the south of Britain. Circles show 17 populations colored according to the f3 statistics value, reflecting the degree of shared ancestry with Australia. Populations were defined based on the British county of each rabbit. The red triangle marks the location of Baltonsborough village, the residence of the Austin family where the wild rabbits imported to Barwon Park are believed to be originated from. (B) Correlation between the proportion of singletons in British individuals shared with the Australian population (excluding Cattai and Sydney) and the distance to Baltonsborough in kilometers. Alleles that were singletons in Britain but present in domestic rabbits were excluded from the analysis.
