Test dataset provided with the MAPI package. We used generation-by-generation coalescent algorithms (Hudson et al., 1990) to simulate 10 microsatellite genotypes at migration-mutation-drift equilibrium for 200 diploid individuals, distributed on the nodes of a 20x10 lattice.

Mutations for each locus followed a symmetric generalized stepwise model with a variance equal to 0.36 (Estoup et al., 2001) and a maximum range of allelic states of 40. The mutation rate was fixed so that heterozygosity ranged from 0.6 to 0.8 as frequently observed at microsatellite markers (Chapuis et al., 2012).

Two panmictic populations are separated by a barrier. We used Simcoal2 (Laval and Excoffier, 2004) to generate two panmictic populations of equal effective size N_e = 100 and exchanging N_{e}m = 0.1 migrants at each generation. The barrier to gene flow bisected the lattice from north to south in its center.

The differentiation values computed between these samples is described in the metric section.
