Calculations are based on 72 mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) DNA sequences and 17 nuclear ribosomal second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) DNA sequences from five populations primarily associated with two distinct microhabitats: Phytelephas aequatorialis palms to the north (N) and vertebrate tree-nests to the south (S); see Fig. 1, Table 1 and Additional file 1: Table S1.
