From: Habitat adaptation rather than genetic distance correlates with female preference in fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra)

Figure 1

(a): Locations of Salamandra salamandra populations in Germany from which adult salamanders were collected to be used for mate preference tests and microsatellite loci analysis. Light grey indicates the distribution of salamander populations belonging to the eastern post-glacial recolonization lineage; dark grey denotes the distribution of populations from the western post-glacial recolonization lineage in Germany (after [16]). We analysed individuals from one pond-adapted (p-W) and one stream-adapted (s-W) population within the western post-glacial recolonization lineage and from one stream-adapted population within the eastern post-glacial recolonization lineage (s-E). (b): Table of neutral genetic differentiation (expressed as Reynolds' FST values) based on nine microsatellite loci analyzed between populations (see Genetic analysis of Methods for details). All pairwise population comparisons are significant on a 5% level.
