Genetic distance (Dps) vs. Euclidean distance for dyad type (female (pink) and male (blue) dyads) and population type (recent (top row) or historic (bottom row)). The recent populations included Kentucky Big South Fork (BSF; a), and Kentucky Pine Mountain (PM; b), Missouri Ozark Mountains with MO genotypes (MO–MO; c), Missouri Ozark Mountains with OZ genotypes (MO–OZ; d), and Oklahoma Ouachita Mountains (OK; e). The historic populations included: Tennessee Appalachian Mountains (TN; f), West Virginia Appalachian Mountains (WV; g), Arkansas Ouachita Mountains (OU; h), Arkansas Ozark Mountains (OZ; i). Notes: There was variability in sample size and sampling scheme across populations, so caution should be used in interpreting results. Because patterns shift little after 60 km, data are displayed only through that distance though some populations had pairs farther apart; these are displayed in Figure S6
