Mantel and partial Mantel test data and scripts of mimetic evolution of Papilio polytes in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

Batesian mimicry is a striking example of Darwinian evolution, and the swallowtail butterfly Papilio polytes exhibits Batesian mimicry polymorphism. These P. polytes populations show various mimic ratios among the Ryukyu Islands in Japan. We conducted Mantel and partial Mantel tests regarding the possible relationship among the mimic ratio differences, geographic distances, and average genetic distances among five islands of the Ryukyus based on 259 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 93 individuals.
