from TNF and MS, which were fairly close to each other, and the branch marked with (+) had a mix of samples from SSA and TNF, which were also near. Mean Genetic Distances Tables 5-8 show the results of distance data of genetic information. Populations were once again organized based on geographic groupings based on Table 2. Greater values indicate greater genetic distances or genetic diversity. Table 5 and Table 6 examine the mitochondrial CO1 gene. Table 5 contains calculations of the genetic distances within each group. The data showed SSA having the greatest genetic diversity within its populations, and MS had the least. Table 6 shows the genetic distances between different groups. The greatest genetic distance was seen between SSA and MS, and the least distance was exhibited between TNF and MS. Table 7 and Table 8 were based on the nuclear H3A gene. Similar to Table 5 and Table 6, Table 7 shows genetic distances within each group while Table 8 shows distances between them. Results from these calculations were different from the ones generated by the CO1 gene. NSA and SSA were shown to have little to no genetic diversity within their populations, while MS had the greatest. In addition, genetic distances were greatest between NSA to SSA, NSA to TNF, and TNF to MS. Lowest distances were observed between SSA and TNF and NSA and MS. Figure 5. Phylogenetic tree of mitochondrial DNA sequences (CO1 gene).
