SSAR 9th Edition Comments:
Chan et al. (2020, PLoS ONE 15: e0238194) presented additional evidence (see Chan et al., 2009, Conservation Genetics 10: 131–142) for mtDNA and microsatellite differentiation among S. arenicolus populations. They found multiple nested genetic clusters with limited gene flow among them.
