Fig. 1: Maps of the distributions of genets in each year of sampling.

Maps of the population in 2013 (a) and 2017 (b). Ramets sharing the same colour and symbol (and bounded by a convex hull) in each year indicate the position of genets (MLLs). Only one MLL from the 2013 sample was recovered in 2017. This MLL occurred in roughly the same part of the population in both years but because we used different reference points for mapping in each year, the extent to which this MLL might have changed positions cannot be determined (in 2013 this MLL is represented by seven ramets and indicated by the combination of the colour “deep pink” and the diamond symbol, located at roughly x = 12 m, y = 20 m; in 2017 the MLL was represented by a single ramet and indicated on the map by a black square at x = 6.3 m, y = 10.6 m). Note that because we used a restricted colour and symbol palette, there are instances of different MLLs sharing the same colour and symbol combination, however ramets from the same MLL are always enclosed by (or for smaller MLLs, joined by) a convex hull. Axis scales in metres. The insets in each panel indicate the frequency distribution of clone sizes in each year. All ramets sampled in 2017 occurred approximately in the area corresponding to x = 0–20, y = 12–32 in a.
