Genetic evidence of multiple invasions and a small number of founders of Asian Palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer) in Thailand

Table 4 Estimated minimum numbers of founders required to introduce all empirically observed microsatellite alleles into each STRUCTURE cluster of the B. flabellifer population

Cluster	Resampling of alleles	Allele frequency	Equal frequency
(a)
Cluster I	34	39	4
Cluster II	25	27	4
(b)
Cluster I	13	10	3
Cluster II	9	9	3

The simulations were performed using (a) the complete set of genotypes assigned to each cluster or (b) excluding low frequency alleles (<0.02). Estimates were obtained using three different approaches: resampling of alleles (without replacement), empirical allele frequency, and equal allele frequency
