Probability values based on 999 permutations are above the diagonal and PhiPT values are below the diagonal. Higher values (≥0.2) show that populations of this species exhibit a great degree of differentiation, especially between populations from Mamshit and from the western sands. Inner sands locations are indicated in italics.
