Population structure and genetic diversity in the nannandrous moss Homalothecium lutescens: does the dwarf male system facilitate gene flow?

Table 1 Genetic differentiation between colonies within four populations of the moss Homalothecium lutescens in Sweden

Population	Category	N	Φ _PT	P
AP	Dwarf males	47	0.504	0.001
	Female shoots	25	0.230	0.019
KP	Dwarf males	50	0.644	0.001
	Female shoots	25	0.707	0.001
LQ	Dwarf males	53	0.248	0.001
	Female shoots	25	−0.167	1.000
CK	Dwarf males	59	0.286	0.001
	Female shoots	30	0.226	0.014

Values (Φ _PT, via AMOVA) are calculated for dwarf males and female shoots separately. Dwarf males within colonies are sampled from a single female shoot, while female shoots are sampled from an area of 0.5 m². N = total sample size. Number of colonies is five in each population except in CK where it is six. P = significance level determined with permutation test (999 permutations); note that all Φ _PT -values are significant (i.e. P < 0.05) except for female shoots in pop LQ
