Figure 5

Gene flow diagrams for Eunicella verrucosa and Alcyonium digitatum. Contemporary gene flow estimates were derived from BayesAss and historical gene flow estimates were calculated using Migrate-n. Colours correspond to regions: Britain (red), France (blue), Ireland (green), Portugal (orange), the North Sea (purple). The direction of an arrow represents the direction of gene flow from one region to another. The width of the arrows denotes the relative amount of gene flow within the scenario being explored (that is, the wider the arrow, the more gene flow). The ‘humps’ in the estimates of contemporary gene flow represent gene flow originating from sample sites within regions. Patterns for each diagram are independent, that is, similar widths of arrows or humps do not represent the same amount of gene flow across each of the four diagrams (see Supporting Appendix 6 for exact gene flow estimates).
