Figure 2

Change in average gene diversity ( H ) over the hierarchical decomposition of the dataset. In general, the average gene diversity for each line decreased with each subsequent level of resolution. This demonstrated the successful assembly of informative clusters, wherein the most closely related individuals were assembled and more diverse individuals were excluded, even at the finest levels of resolution. The differential termination of the main lines at various levels of resolution was due to differential conclusion of analysis for the main lines in the course of the decomposition.
