Table 3.

Genetic differentiation (pairwise F ST values) among the eight subspecies as defined by mtDNA clades

angolensis giraffa peralta antiquorum thornicrofti tippelskirchi reticulata
giraffa 0.940
peralta 0.935 0.978
antiquorum 0.905 0.967 0.859
thornicrofti 0.897 0.935 0.984 0.930
tippelskirchi 0.859 0.838 0.916 0.866 0.506
reticulata 0.901 0.961 0.839 0.689 0.900 0.856
rothschildi 0.938 0.980 0.959 0.887 0.996 0.918 0.842

For assignment to mtDNA clades see Figure 1. All pairwise FST values were highly significant (p < 0.001) when testing with 1,000 permutations.
