Population genetics statistics
Standard population genetic statistics were calculated for 53
populations from the native distribution of winter moth, as well as from
each of the four invasive North American populations (Supplemental
Appendix S1 Table S2). Populations had on average 7.8 alleles per locus
(± 1.71 alleles per locus), with the invasive populations having equal
to, or greater allelic diversity than the native populations (average of
8.06 ± 2.05 alleles per locus). The greatest allelic diversity was
observed in the population from Pančevo, Serbia (average of 12.04
alleles per locus), and the population with the lowest allelic diversity
was Reykjavík, Iceland (average of 3.42 alleles per locus). As per
previous winter moth population genetic analyses, all populations showed
evidence of deviations from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (P <
0.05 for all).
