The genetic similarity among individuals or populations can be ascertained using a number of statistical techniques (reviewed by Bohonak 1999; Neigel 1997; Roderick 1996; Slatkin 1985). When populations can be defined a priori, one option is to analyze genetic "isolation by distance" (sensu Wright 1943) by plotting the genetic similarity (or distance) among population pairs as a function of the geographic distance between those pairs. Slatkin (1993) suggested the genetic distance
= (1/FST - 1)/4 as an appropriate similarity measure, although other approaches are possible (e.g., Epperson and Li 1996).
Qualitative and statistical analyses of isolation by distance can reveal much about population genetic structure. The primary use for plots of (genetic) isolation by (geographic) distance is
