Results of causal modeling of landscape resistance on genetic distance in European pine marten according to Mantel and partial mantel tests.

Model definitions according to Table 1. There are 3 Mantel tests comprising causal modeling: (1) G*L—simple Mantel test between the candidate model and genetic distance; (2) G*L|Dis—partial Mantel test between the candidate model and genetic distance, partialling out Euclidean distance; (3) G*D|L—partial Mantel test between the Euclidean and genetic distance, partialling out the candidate model. For a candidate model to be supported tests (1) and (2) must be significant, while test (3) must be negative or non-significant. Mantel tests meeting each criterion are italicized. Ranking of each model according to Mantel and partial Mantel r values is included. CMS? Indicates if the model is supported within the causal modeling framework (Y) or not (N).Results of causal modeling of landscape resistance on genetic distance in European pine marten according to Mantel and partial mantel tests.
