AMOVA is like an hierarchical analysis of variance in that it
separates and tests tiers of genetic diversity:
- Diversity among groups of populations
- Diversity among the populations within groups
- Diversity among the individuals within a population
When studying molecular variation, it is customary to examine
haplotypes and so there is no variation within
individuals.
AMOVA differs from analysis of variance in that:
- AMOVA can accommodate different evolutionary assumptions without
modifying the basic structure of the analysis
- Hypotheses are tested using permutational methods so that no Normal
distribution assumption is required.
