1 Supplementary Material 2 Materials and methods 3 Descriptive statistics 4 The ‘Check raw data option’ in Genalex 6.5 (Peakall and Smouse, 2006; Peakall and Smouse, 2012), allowed 5 calculating the PCR amplification success (in percentage) for each locus and sampling location (Table S1). 6 Mean number of alleles (Na), observed (Ho) and unbiased expected heterozygosity (uHe) were calculated with 7 GenAlEx 6.5 (Table S2). FSTAT 2.9.3.2 (Goudet, 2002), was used to calculate Allelic richness (Ar), using the 8 rarefaction method (El Mousadik and Petit, 1996)(Table S2). Deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) 9 were tested (Table S2; null hypothesis H1 = heterozygote deficiency), as implemented in GENEPOP 4.2 (Rousset, 10 2008). The inbreeding coefficient FIS (Weir and Cockerham, 1984)(Table S2) was computed with GENODIVE v2.0b23 11 (Meirmans and Van Tienderen, 2004). 12 To correct for multiple comparisons, a false discovery rate FDR correction (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995) was 13 performed using SGoF+ (Carvajal-Rodriguez and de Uña-Alvarez, 2011), whenever necessary. 14 Clustering analyses 15 Three Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo programs with different algorithms and assumptions were used to infer 16 population structure of the studied populations: STRUCTURE v2.3.4 (Falush et al., 2003; Falush et al., 2007; Hubisz et 17 al., 2009; Pritchard et al., 2000), InStruct (Gao et al., 2007) , and BAPS v6 (Corander and Marttinen, 2006; Corander et 18 al., 2006; Corander et al., 2008). In all approaches, individuals are assigned probabilistically to one subpopulation or 19 jointly to two or more subpopulations if their genotypes indicate that they are admixed. 20 The software STRUCTURE v.2.3.4 was used because of its ability in providing a simultaneous description of clines and 21 clusters by making use of multilocus genotypes (François and Durand, 2010). In STRUCTURE, underlying population 22 structure was investigated using directly the admixture model, with correlated alleles frequencies between clusters and 23 LOCPRIOR option (Hubisz et al., 2009). Ten different runs from K=1 to K= 7 of 100000 burn-in followed by 500000 24 iterations were computed for each K value. To determine the most appropriate value of K, two statistics were 25 considered: the maximum value of LnPr(X|K), and the ΔK statistic developed by (Evanno et al., 2005)(Figure S1). The 26 R package CorrSieve1.6-8 (Campana et al., 2011) was used to calculate the ΔK statistic. 27 Bottleneck, population growth, and recent migration rates 1 28 BOTTLENECK 1.2.02 (Piry et al., 1999) was used to test for recent demographic changes using two-phase model 29 (TPM) with 70% of the stepwise mutation model (SMM) (Piry et al., 1999) and the Wilcoxon’s signed rank-test (Table 30 S7). In order to detect signatures of population growth, the intralocus variance k test (Reich and Goldstein, 1998) and 31 the interlocus g test (Reich et al., 1999) were performed using the Kgtests Excel Macro (Bilgin, 2007). It computes the 32 significance of the k statistic using the one-tailed binomial distribution. Significance levels for the interlocus g test are 33 available in Table 1 in (Reich et al., 1999). The statistics g is interpreted as an indication of expansion when it has an 34 unusually low value; for seven loci (our study), g values lower than 0.14 (20<n >40) or 0.015 (n<20) will indicate a 35 population expansion (Table S7). 36 The BayesAss v3 program (BA3) was used to estimate recent migration rates (m) between populations (groups of 37 populations) using a non-equilibrium Bayesian method through Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques (Wilson and 38 Rannala, 2003)(Table S8). 39 To generate correct results in BA3 the strategy proposed by Rannala (2011) was followed. The mixing parameters were 40 adjusted (dM=0.5; dA= 0.60; dF= 0.6) to have an acceptance rate between 20% and 40%, with 1*106 iterations, 1*105 41 iterations as burn-in, and 10 independent runs (starting with different random number seeds). In order to assess for 42 significance, migration rates were averaged over the 10 independent runs, and compared to average migration rates of 43 10 randomly permuted data sets (generated in GENODIVE v2.0b23). Estimated migration rates were considered 44 significant when the 95% confidence interval (CI) did not overlap with the 95% CI of the randomly permuted data 45 (Andras et al., 2013). The BayesAss analysis was realized pooling together CF3 and CF4, considering them indistinct 46 (see results: Bayesian clustering, and F ST and DEST estimates of differentiation). 47 2 48 Supplementary figures 49 50 51 52 Figure S1 CorrSieve output of the STRUCTURE results for the Corallium rubrum data set.
