Description: Map showing prehistoric diffusion of domestic chickens (Gallus gallus) into the Pacific via the Austronesian migrations (Thomson, Lebrasseur, & Austin, 2014). Haplogroups are indicated by colors, haplogroup frequences by pie charts, sample sizes by n number. Gray arrows indicate movements inferred from archaeological data. Black arrows indicate movement routes tested with BayeSSC (dashed arrows indicate movements tested in different scenarios, solid arrows are constant across different scenarios).

1. Introduction of chickens within Near Oceania 2. Hypothetical alternate routes suggested by Addision & Matisoo-Smith (2010) 3. Introduction of chickens from New Guinea to Micronesia 4 - 7. Introduction of chickens from western Polynesia into eastern Polynesia
