Table 3. Genetic distances between alpine (HTM and Pyr) and lowland (LLaP) populations based on mtDNA sequences (ND5 gene) and microsatellite data (MS).
Markers | Region | HTM | PyrM | LLaP |
ND5 | HTM | 3.173 | 3.020 | 2.738 |
Pyr | 1.126 | 0.615 | 3.103 | |
LLaP | 0.347 | 1.992 | 1.607 | |
MS | HTM | 50.387 | 50.897 | 47.123 |
Pyr | 51.317 | 45.184 | ||
LLaP | 45.266 |
Average ND5 pairwise model-corrected distance between groups is given above the diagonal and net distance below. Mean distance within each region is given along the diagonal. For MS, average Cavalli-Sforza's chord distance (DSE) between regions is given above the diagonal and within regions along the diagonal. All estimates are expressed as percentages.
