For each locality, for n specimens, the table presents the average sequence identity, the inferred intraspecific (i) and interspecific (j) distances, without EM, and their corresponding variation in number of base pairs for the identified ESUs. Cells in bold indicates when intra- specific and inter-specific distances conflict, for a given marker, between different sites. Cells with a (£) indicates when intra-specific and inter-specific distances conflict, for a given marker, between a local site and the genetic threshold based on the global sampling.
