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.

Despite the initial popularity of this concept of "character displacement," the phenomenon and its dual, "character release" (Grant 1972) in areas of allopatry from a competitor, were widely seen for many years as uncommon at best, and alternative explanations for geographic variation are often available (Grant 1972).

Although these two taxa are not sister species and the boundary between the Great Fish and Kei catchments therefore not a vicariant feature contributing to speciation, it may well now limit dispersal and maintain the allopatry of these lineages.
