Figure 5

The genetic (dis)similarity among populations within the different Triturus species. These are composite maps for all nine Triturus species. For each species, the genetic divergence among populations (Z i ) was determined and subsequently interpolated across its distribution range. In Figure 5a we use a single scale for all Triturus species (allowing direct comparison among species) whereas in Figure 5b we use a species specific scale (better expressing genetic structure in genetically relatively poor species). Warmer colors refer to a higher genetic divergence. The insets show the situation for T. cristatus (left) and T. marmoratus (right) in their area of sympatry (shown in dark gray on the main maps).
