In the end, I think there is not enough data here for the  
correlation. In looking in the 3rd edition of Manly's Multivariate  
Statistical Methods, the section on Mantel's test of two matrices  
describes that there would be only 6 equally likely values from two  
3x3 matrices that make up the randomized distribution, too few to  
attach a p-value too. The conclusion has to be that although the  
pattern in behavior and molecular data is supportable by a p-value,  
any correspondence cannot be.
