Correcting principal component maps for effects of spatial autocorrelation in population genetic data
In many species, spatial genetic variation displays patterns of isolation-by-distance. Characterized by locally correlated allele frequencies, these patterns are known to create periodic shapes in geographic maps of principal components which confound signatures of specific migration events and infl...
