TCS haplotype network for <i>Munida gracilis</i>, <i>COI</i> sequences.

<p>Each circle represents an observed haplotype and the circles are proportional to the number of individuals sampled with that haplotype. Each color indicates a sampling site and when a haplotype was present at multiple sites, a pie chart indicates the proportions with absolute numbers appearing in text in the pie chart. Each line connecting colored circles represents a single nucleotide sequence change. Lines with small black circles indicate interior haplotypes not found in the dataset (multiple nucleotide changes between sampled haplotypes).</p

Distribution of <i>COI</i> haplotypes across the study area for <i>Munida gracilis</i>.

<p>The map shows the location of the study sites with pie charts indicating the haplotype composition of the population from that site. Each color represents a haplotype with Red, Blue, and Yellow representing the three shared haplotypes that are found across the study area. Shades of grey and other muted colors represent unique haplotypes. Sample size for each site is indicated.</p

Pairiwse Fst values between populations of the quill worm, <i>Hyalinoecia longibranchiata,</i> using a fragment of the <i>COI</i> gene.

<p>Above the diagonal indicates ranges of p-values. The “−” denotes a p>0.05. The “*” denotes a p<0.05. The “**” denotes a p<0.01. The “***” denotes a p<0.001.</p
