Fig. 2: Patterns of hierarchical structuring amongst Isoodon populations are generally consistent with currently recognised species and subspecific nomenclature.

Estimates of admixture coefficients for an individual in each population using the ‘sNMF’ function in the R package LEA at different K values when using (a) the ‘Isoodon’ dataset and (b) the ‘auratus’ dataset, where each population was subset to contain a maximum of 10 individuals. Populations include Barrow Island (BWI), Doole Island (DOOL), Hermite Island (HERM), Matuwa (MATU), Alice Springs Desert Park (ASDP), Augustus Island (AUG), Lachlan Island (LACH), Storr Island (STOR), Uwins Island (UWIN), Yampi Sound (YAMP), Artesian Range (ART), Mitchell Plateau (MITC), Marchinbar Island (MARC), Guluwuru Island (GULU), Raragala Island (RARA), I. macrourus (IM) and I. fusciventer (IF). Translocated populations are indicated by an asterisk (*).
