Metrics used to infer inter-island colonization success of animal and plant species within the Galápagos, Azores and Canary Islands.

1 Number of current islands colonized by each species based on chorological data; (number of archipelago largest islands)2 Number of haplotypes obtained from mitochondria (animals) and plastid (plants) DNA sequences in each study3 Number of haplotypes obtained in each study multiplied by the number of all largest islands-14 Inter-island colonization events based on distribution of each haplotype, i.e. each colonization event is inferred by haplotype sharing on two or more islands5 Ratio expressing multiple colonization events, that ranges between 1 (all islands colonized by all the haplotypes) and 0 (no inter-island colonization).* Olea europaea subsp. guanchica is distributed across the seven Canary Islands. However, the three eastern-most islands show evidence for hybridization with the olive tree. This made the authors use only material from the four western-most islands.Metrics used to infer inter-island colonization success of animal and plant species within the Galápagos, Azores and Canary Islands.
