  1. Physical scaffold and nucleotide position for genetic markers are reported, as well as the FST values from genome scans comparing wild caught L. fuelleborni and T. red cheek. The location of the SNP relative to the closest gene is also presented (e.g. 5ʹ/3ʹ of the gene or within an intron). A heat map is presented here for scale 3 PC2 LOD scores, which peak between 45–50 cM. Candidate genes within the 95% confidence interval are boldfaced and colored according to LOD scores. Both efnA5a and fgfr1b stand out as prime candidates through this approach
