Fig. 5: Summary of the discrepancy between fine-scale genetic and epigenetic spatial structures found in populations of narrow endemics and widespread species.

From: Comparative epigenetic and genetic spatial structure in Mediterranean mountain plants: a multispecies study

Fig. 5

The panels summarise the slopes of the relationship between the logarithm of the spatial distance and the genetic relatedness (SGS) and between the logarithm of the spatial distance and the epigenetic similarity (SEGS). Points within the grey areas denote populations where epigenetic similarity decreases with distance more gradually than genetic relatedness (SEGS < SGS) (and the opposite for white areas; SEGS > SGS). Error bars span ±1 SE after a jackknifing procedure over loci. Statistics at each panel refer to the term defining the type of marker in the mixed model and thus reflect overall differences between genetic and epigenetic slopes.
