| Popis: | We investigated the genetic diversity and phylogenetic structure of Webster’s salamander (Plethodon websteri), an understudied species of conservation concern and one of the first morphologically cryptic salamander species described solely on the basis of molecular techniques. Using a combination of mitochondrial and microsatellite data, we discovered significant genetic differentiation across the known distribution (ɸST > 0.868 and FST = 0.261−0.652, p |
