Genetic analysis indicates spatial-dependent patterns of sex-biased dispersal in Eurasian lynx in Finland
Fig 2
Spatial genetic structure identified by Bayesian cluster assignment analysis for Eurasian lynx in southern Finland.
A-C show the DeltaK plots for (A) the combined data set, (B) females, and (C) males, respectively. (D-G) CLUMPAK-averaged Bayesian clustering (STRUCTURE) plots showing posterior probabilities of lynx individual genotypes (as bars) assigned to each genetic cluster based on STR data for K = 2–3. Individuals are sorted by geography from west to east in STRUCTURE bar plots. (D) sexes combined (N = 282), 2E) females (N = 102), and 2F) males (N = 180). In addition, (G) shows the bar plot for females across three geographical regions as retrieved from a STRUCTURE run with the LOCPRIOR option.
