Pre-Quaternary divergence and subsequent radiation explain longitudinal patterns of genetic and morphological variation in the striped skink, Heremites vittatus

Table 1 P-distances between major haplogroups. Below diagonal, mean p-distances between MHGs. Above diagonal, standard error of the mean (SEM) for mean p-distances between MHGs. On diagonal, mean p-distance ± SEM within MHGs. Standard errors were determined from 1000 Bootstrap replicates
