Zosterops chloris

Mainland south-east Sulawesi (including continental islands) and south Sulawesi populations are divergent ( ND2: 1.22%) as shown by our phylogenetic work. In the focal region, mainland south-east Sulawesi and the Wakatobi population are strongly divergent ( ND2: 2.5%, COI: 4.9%). The Wakatobi population also differs from south Sulawesi ( ND2: 2.05%) and Runduma ( ND2: 2.35%, COI: 4.66%). The most closely related population to Runduma is that on mainland south-east Sulawesi ( ND2: 0.73%, COI: 2.22%). Each population shows low within-group variability; mainland south-east Sulawesi ( ND2: 0.09%, COI: 0.04%), Runduma ( ND2: 0%, COI: 0%) and Wakatobi Islands ( ND2: 0.04%, COI: 0.14%) .
