Introduction

Population graphs are a multivariate approach to quantifying the conditional covariance of standing genetic structure (Rodney J. Dyer and Nason 2004; R. J. Dyer 2015) and have been used for both adult structure [Baker and Dyer (2011)] and for analysis of pollen pool connectivity (Dileo et al. 2014).
