Figure 4From: Causes and consequences of fine-scale population structure in a critically endangered freshwater sealAverage kinship coefficient plotted against logarithmic distance between Saimaa ringed seal individual pairs. The plots are based on (A) 17 microsatellite loci, and (B) mtDNA haplotypes (Loiselle) and genetic distance between haplotypes (Nij). Distance classes differing significantly from the mean kinship of the population are marked with asterisks: ***P < 0.001; *P < 0.05.Back to article page
