  1. Values for the parameter θ (4 x effective population size x mutation rate) are given for the three pairwise Isolation with Migration (IM) comparisons. Without a comprehensive hypothesis of relationships between the populations defined by DAPC, IM analyses between the core diversity of the coastal Alaska population and other three defined populations of sufficient sample size (West Beringia, interior Alaska, and the Arctic Coastal Plain) were conducted. Only θ for the contemporary populations is shown. The mean of posterior distributions is presented with the 90 percent highest probability densities (HPD90Lo and HPD90Hi). Other θ indicates the non-coastal Alaska member of the pairwise comparision
