  1. The analyses were based on the multivariate general linear model (n = 164; see Tables 2). Populations of G. fultoni were grouped into three zones: far allopatric, near allopatric, and sympatric zones. Each cell contains the mean differences of two groups |first row – second row| ± standard error and its significance level. Numbers in bold indicate significance at the level of 0.05.
