MtDNA: Numbers and percentages of individuals containing either B. balearicus or B. siculus mtDNA. Nuclear DNA: Numbers and percentages of individuals assigned by STRUCTURE to either B. balearicus or to B. siculus. Hybrids based on: potential hybrids detected using a) NEWHYBRIDS software, b) diagnostic microsatellite alleles or c) cyto-nuclear disequilibrium.
