Minimum spanning network of 112 core mitochondrial DNA haplotypes of northern fur seals.

<p>Branch lengths are the minimum number of steps between haplotypes. The size of the circle representing the individual haplotypes corresponds to the abundance of that haplotype. Numbers identify the most abundant haplotypes. Dashed lines represent alternative groupings.</p

Summary of mtDNA diversity in 9 populations of Northern fur seal.

<p>*haplotypic diversity (h), % nucleotide diversity (Π). Standard deviations in parentheses.</p

Mitochondrial DNA based population differentiation for population pairs (estimates of F_ST above diagonal and Φ_ST below diagonal).

<p>*Bold indicates significant <i>P</i>-values (<i>P</i><0.05).</p

Selection Database

The excel file has both the data, and a worksheet explaining each of the columns/fields. We would appreciate it if you would bring to our attention any errors or ambiguities that you find in the database (no doubt there are some). We will periodically update the database as needed. In addition, we are very interested in new insights you may have about selection from your own analyses of this database and relate sources. We’d appreciate it if you would tell us what you are finding, or papers that have resulted from it. Any questions or comments may be directed to: Joel Kingsolver, Department of Biology, CB-3280, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3280, 919 843-6291 (phone) 919 962-1625 (fax) [email protected]
