Correlations between different genetic, geographic, and landscape resistance distance matrices.

<p>A. Correlations between pairwise genetic differentiation measures derived from contemporary Northern Spotted Owl samples and congruent resistance distance or geographic distance matrices. Resistance distances were derived from analyses of raster maps that represented Northern Spotted Owl dispersal habitat at different time points (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0201720#pone.0201720.g002" target="_blank">Fig 2B–2F</a>) or for an idealized hypothetical habitat map where all landscape locations were equally (and maximally) suitable for owl dispersal (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0201720#pone.0201720.g002" target="_blank">Fig 2A</a>). Closed circles represent correlations from analyses involving resistance distances associated with forest habitat from five time points over the past ~150 years. Resistance distances from the idealized habitat map (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0201720#pone.0201720.g002" target="_blank">Fig 2A</a>) and geographic distances between points are independent of time; therefore correlation coefficients based on analyses that included these matrices are represented by horizontal dashed lines. All correlations are highly significant (P < 0.005). B. Correlations between pairwise geographic distances and different resistance distance matrices obtained from analyses of maps of Northern Spotted Owl dispersal habitat for different time points (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0201720#pone.0201720.g002" target="_blank">Fig 2B–2F</a>) or an idealized Northern Spotted Owl habitat map (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0201720#pone.0201720.g002" target="_blank">Fig 2A</a>). Closed circles represent correlations from analyses based on data from different time points. The idealized habitat map is independent of time and is therefore represented by a horizontal line. All correlations are highly significant (P < 0.005).
