AppendixS1.Examples of Allopatric Speciation Driven by Glaciation of the Central Southern Alps of New Zealand. Shown are: species and genetic markers used, timing of splits, number of geographic sites sampled, habitat type, and reference. mtDNA rate calibrations used (per Ma since divergence): ††2.1%[1], †2.3%[2], *3.54%[3]. Gene marker abbreviations: CO, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase; A, mitochondrial ATPase; EF, elongation factor; ND, mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase; CYB, mitochondrial cytochrome b; 12S, small mitochondrial ribosomal RNA subunit; CR, mitochondrial control region; bfibint, beta-fibrinogen intron; H, histone cluster.
