Genetic diversity between parental populations and their corresponding single colonies. a The R721 parental population had 8 unique variants relative to all three colonies. While all three colonies shared 6 variants which were unique to the colonies relative to the parental population, each colony also harboured unique variants relative to the other colonies. Similarly, for (b) the R912 parental population had 8 unique variants relative to all three colonies. While all three colonies only shared 2 variants, each colony also harboured unique variants relative to the other colonies. (c) For R965, the parental population had 1 unique variant relative to both colonies, while the colonies shared 4 variants which were unique relative to the parental population. Similarly, the two colonies for R486 (d) shared 4 variants which were unique relative to the parental population. The R486 parental population had 1 unique variant relative to the other colonies
