*Populations identified genetically as ‘isolates’. N = sample size, Hs = gene diversity and AR = allelic richness. For landscape context: FB = forest block (size in Ha); L = linear habitat along roadsides and rivers, with occasional small remnants and varying degrees of connectivity; P = peri-urban; S = suburban; A = agricultural land-use; R = rural (mixed land-use without extensive areas of agricultural development).
