A Structure 2.3.4 analysis of the 8 populations in the study was run using the following parameters: diploid individuals, 100,000 iterations, admixed data, and independent loci. Each vertical bar represents an individual mosquito. The y-axis shows the probability of an individual being assigned to one of the three genetic clusters. Red bars (Cx. quin) represent the Cx. quinquefasciatus individuals from Coachella, California. Green bars represent individuals from five habitat-associated populations from Merced; dairy, rural, suburban, urban and wetlands. Oroville (Oro) California is a mixture of green and blue bars, and blue bars (Cx. pip) represent individuals of Cx. pipiens from Washington. Structure Harvester found that K = 3; there were three genetically distinct populations
