The proportion of nearly identical isolates decreases with geographic distance ( D ) (Pearson’s correlation r between log( I ) and D = -0.193, Mantel test P value = 0.086) and F ST increases with geographic distance (Pearson’s correlation r between F ST and D = 0.187, Mantel test P value = 0.076), though only borderline significant, suggesting that genetic differentiation increases with geographic distance.
