However, populations of these species also occur on other volcanoes, suggesting a potential role for allopatry in the initial divergence of taxa.

Furthermore, the results clearly indicate that in this species, spine color variation represents an intraspecific polymorphism, since genetic identities (GI) were significantly high for morphotypes living in sympatry and low for morphotypes living in allopatry. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) is clear cut concerning this conclusion which is well represented by the dendrogram, which showed morphotypes clustered by sampling locations instead of color of spines.

Miller (1964: 256) believed that "Two species may exist in close proximity and their ranges may even interdigitate, but they maintain a relationship of contiguous allopatry and do not form mixed-species populations." Today, "contiguous allopatry," in which otherwise sympatric species are separated ecologically, is known as parapatry (e.g.

The species is more sexually dimorphic in the region of allopatry. On all islands to which it has been introduced, in 100-200 generations the small Indian mongoose has increased in male size and in sexual dimorphism; changes in female size have been slight and inconsistent.

There was also good evidence for a polygenic basis to the observed genetic variation, and they suggest that this supports a hypothesis of divergence for song characters while in allopatry during the Pleistocene glaciations that probably separated the subspecies.

The Evolutionary Species Concept does apply in such cases of allopatry, however, although with considerable subjectivity in determining whether or not an allopatric population in sufficiently differentiated to be regarded as having established a unique evolutionary trajectory.
