Figure 1.
The barcoding gap, the overlap of intra- and inter-specific K2P genetic distances.
Based on the (A) 1977 taxonomy, and (B) current taxonomy of New Zealand skinks.
Figure 2.
Maximum intra-specific K2P genetic distance in relation to the nearest neighbour distance.
Based on the (A) 1977 taxonomy for New Zealand skinks, and (B) current taxonomy. Points that fall above the 1:1 line indicate the presence of a local barcode gap, whereas this local barcode gap is absent for the points below the line.
