Table 2. Genetic divergence amongst Nile crocodile populations in southern Africa: Lower Kunene River (LK-Nam), Okavango River System (Okavango Delta—OR-OD-Bot and Okavango River—OR-OCR-Nam), North and South Lower Shire River (LS-N-Mal and LS-S-Mal), and South Africa's Limpopo (Limpo-SAf) and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN-SAf) regions.
Pairwise FST values calculated using microsatellite genotypes are represented below the diagonal line.
