Data Accessibility Statement.The SNP data and the forward simulation programming code used in this study are available on Dryad.
Benefit-Sharing Statement. A research collaboration was developed with scientists from the countries providing genetic samples, all collaborators are included as co-authors, the results of research have been shared with the provider communities and the broader scientific community, and the research addresses a priority concern, in this case the conservation of organisms being studied. More broadly, our group is committed to international scientific partnerships, as well as institutional capacity building.
