Figure 2
Definition of joins among genotypes in Z. marina (eelgrass) representing three different subsets of genotypic data that were analysed with spatial autocorrelation using multilocus microsatellite genotypes: (a) Including all samples of each clone, (b) centre points of all fragments of each clone and (c) centre point of the largest fragment of each clone. Only one clone is presented in the figure for reasons of clarity. The two circles in each plot represent the two shortest distance classes used in the autocorrelation (d1=1 m and d2=2 m) and illustrate the progressive exclusion of joins between like genotypes (a–c) by a decrease in the number of samples (n) with identical multilocus genotype included in each distance class and for each analysis. The procedure is analogous for all 15 distance classes.
