Fig. 2

Analysis of demes, based on D-loop sequences (a) and microsatellite analysis (b). The D-loop sequences show no sharing of haplotypes between France and Germany (circles vs. triangles), but much sharing of haplotypes within demes, confirming a strong matrilineal structure. On the other hand, several haplotypes are also shared between neighboring demes indicating some exchange in the past. The microsatellites were used to assess deme differentiation and degree of more recent exchange based on STRUCTURE analysis. The figure shows the results for K = 11 reflecting the optimal number out of 2–15. The demes JJM02 and JJM09 were split by STRUCTURE into two sub-demes, but with apparent exchange between them. Note that colors are only used for better visualization, they do not correspond between the figure parts
