Map of sampling sites from Island Southeast Asia to Remote Oceania and the defined source and sink regions for the founder analysis. Numbers indicate sample size for each location, and we used islands located within each contour as sources for the sinks in the next larger region. Novel samples were retrieved from North New Guinea (one sample), Lowland New Guinea (seventy-four samples), southeast coast New Guinea (two samples), New Britain (one sample), New Ireland (one sample), Manus (two samples), Solomons (nineteen samples), Guam (three samples), Kiribati (six samples), Nauru (eighteen samples), Vanuatu (ninety-one samples), Fiji (eight samples), Cook Islands (seven samples). Additional locations, not shown in the map, include Malaysia (two samples – one of them novel), Hawai’i (three samples), Madagascar (three samples) and Somalia (one sample).
