Blue whale grouping criteria for population structure testing at the temporal scale.

Grouping criteria: see Methods. Groups = number of groups of the temporal structure analyses. Size = range, mode and standard deviations of groups. Sex ratio = sex ratio of the group compared to overall sex ratio (1.41∶1) in the population. HWE = Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. RST and FST = range values of pairwise RST and FST comparisons among groups. Adjusted B and B-Y p-values refer to the adjusted p-values after sequential Bonferroni and Benjaminy-Yekutiely correction respectively. adenotes all p-values were >0.05. Significant results are in bold.
