Table 3. Estimates of bi-directional gene flow (Nem) among populations of Desmophyllum dianthus from SE Australia, New Zealand and Chile collected from shallow (<600 m), mid (1000–1500 m) and deep (>1500 m) depth strata as estimated using LAMARC.

Analysis for ITS was done separately from the analysis of the mtDNA (16S + MtC) to incorporate recombination. There was no statistically significant difference among any of the gene flow estimates. X denotes test not done as insufficient data for the comparison.
