  1. Separate estimates were computed for regions within 50, 100 and 150 bp of microsatellites. For Bombina, one set of tests involved all microsatellites and a second set only those loci that amplified reliable in at least one taxon (‘usable’). Significant estimates (α=0.05) are indicated by an asterisk.
