Their TDS value varies mainly from 1 to 6 g/L, reaching 315 g/L at only one locality.
The only previous study to have mapped genomic divergence between natural population samples of M and S at very high resolution (more than 400,000 markers) studied only one locality in Mali Neafseyy et al. 2010).
Among 108 unique haplotypes identified, 72% were found at only one locality and 84% were country specific, while 44% of individuals carried a haplotype detected only at their sampling locality.
Only one locality had individuals highly differentiated, with little nuclear admixture, and population substructure, but overall, P. chilensis showed a greater degree of homogeneity than expected given its life history.
Hierarchical amova was conducted among the following: (i) clusters of sampling localities found using DAPC and NJ and (ii) host plants from which samples were collected (apples versus peach; samples from nectarine were excluded from the analysis as they were from only one locality).
Pyron et al. reduced this problem by selecting only one locality point from each ∼1 km pixel, but they did not test the statistical independence that resulted, nor correct for lack of statistical independence among the pixels used [57], [58], [67].
