Table 1 Information of W Mediterranean localities of C. tenuispina used for spatial and temporal analyses: location, code, year of collection, number of individuals genotyped (Ng), number of alleles (nA), expected and observed heterozygosity (He and Ho, respectively), FIS considering all individuals (* when p-value < 0.01 for HWE), number of MLGs (NMLG), number of private MLG (PMLG), number of MLLs (NMLL), number of private MLL (PMLL), and clonal richness (Eff-MLG). For further details see Supplementary material S1 and S2.

From: Genetic homogeneity, lack of larvae recruitment, and clonality in absence of females across western Mediterranean populations of the starfish Coscinasterias tenuispina
