Percentage of variance of genetic diversity explained between continents or among municipalities, among populations and within populations, F-statistics and p values for the different hierarchical levels. The dataset was analysed both with continent as the highest hierarchical level (second through fourth columns) and with municipality as the highest hierarchical level (fifth through seventh columns)
^aPercentage variation among populations within continents (first column) and municipalities (third column)
