  1. Nucleotide diversity of CDEII (π) was estimated across the CDEII component of all 16 centromeres and π for TEs was estimated for the 210 loci at which TEs appeared fixed. P values are the result of Wilcoxon tests comparing 16 estimates of π of CDEII to 210 estimates of π of TEs for each population.
