Table 4

Genetic diversity in two Copadichromis species based on a 325 bp mtDNA D-loop sequence. Sampling sites encoded as in Table 1. Genbank accession numbers for Copadichromis sp. “Virginalis kajose”: EF211832-211842, EF211848-211859, EF211868-211878, and EF647209-647272; Genbank accession numbers for C. chrysonotus: EF647273-647309, and EF647320-647331.
