AB  - This note details the consortium’s rationale behind its decision to modify the metadata for putatively misidentified European samples in the DrosRTEC dataset. In brief, we use PCA on published datasets from North America and Europe to generate phylogeographic clusters reflective of worldwide D. melanogaster demography. We used this PCA to train a DAPC model in order the predict the group membership. Our results indicate that 4 out of 73 samples were misclassified and the metadata was updated accordingly. These samples are a spring-fall pair from Spain and Austria.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
