Figure 1. The top graph shows the relationship between Tajima’s Dregressed on latitude across squamates. The bottom graph shows the
distribution of Tajima’s D among squamates. For both graphs, the
pink color represents the full dataset of 418 taxa and the blue color
represents the reduced dataset of 143 taxa, filtering out species with
less than 10 individuals.
