Widespread Dispersal of the Crown-of-Thorns Sea Star, Acanthaster planci, across the Hawaiian Archipelago and Johnston Atoll

Table 2

Analysis of molecular variance results for Acanthaster planci populations along the Hawaiian Archipelago and from Johnston Atoll. The regional variance component relative to the total variance is Φ_CT. The between-site within region variance component divided by the sum of itself and the within-site variance is Φ_SC. Statistical significance (𝑃<.05) is indicated by the bold font.
