Only studies that included Hawai'i as a sample location are reported. Species, genetic marker, and reference are listed. For species that demonstrate genetically distinct populations at Hawai'i pairwise F-statistics (P<0.05) or measures of genetic divergences (D = estimate of genetic distance [89]; d = sequence divergence) are listed (NA = not applicable). Coalescence times for the Hawaiian populations (×103), if reported, are listed (NR = not reported). Abbreviations for marker types: Cyt b = mtDNA cytochrome b; CR = mtDNA control region; COI = cytochrome oxidase subunit 1; SSR = simple sequence repeats (microsatellites); RAG = recombination activation gene intron.
