Electronic Supplementary Material: AFLP datasets were generated by setting both loci and phenotype scoring thresholds to either 75or 100-rfu in AFLPSCORE v1.3b (Whitlock et al. 2008). ‘A’ indicates the original dataset produced from AFLPSCORE consisting of all retained loci; ‘B’ indicates the original dataset with singleton loci removed. The values reported in the body of the text are indicated in bold. Table S1.
