Asymmetric Northeast-Southwest migration of <i>Abies cilicica</i> in Lebanon.

Abstract

<p>The Northeastern and Southwestern ridges correspond to the two genetically-distinct demes assigned by baps <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0090086#pone.0090086-Corander1" target="_blank">[71]</a>. Populations of the Northeastern ridge are plotted in green color while those of the Southwestern ridge are plotted in magenta color. A likelihood-based Bayesian assignment test <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0090086#pone.0090086-Rannala1" target="_blank">[79]</a> performed in geneclass2 <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0090086#pone.0090086-Piry1" target="_blank">[77]</a> allowed the detection, in the Southwestern ridge, of 3 F₀ migrants originating from the Northeastern ridge. It has also allowed the detection, in the Northeastern ridge, of 1 F₀ migrant originating from the Southwestern ridge, suggesting an asymmetric Northeast-Southwest migration.</p
