Table 2.
Summary statistics derived from eight AFLP primer pair combinations for eight Limenitis species. (The number of fragments and the genetic differentiation estimates (FST) are listed along with the percentage of polymorphic bands for each primer pair combination. The percentage of polymorphic bands is also listed for each taxon at each primer pair combination.)
