Genome-wide pattern of Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) decay up to 100 Kbp pairwise SNP distances. Decay curves of the classical measure of the squared correlation of allele frequencies at diallelic loci (r ²), adjusted for population structure (r ² S) and relatedness (r ² V), and adjusted for both (r ² VS). a Plot with SNPs filtered using MAF > 0 and b MAF ≥ 5% in E. benthamii. c Plot with SNPs filtered using MAF > 0 and d MAF ≥ 0.05 in E. pellita
