It should be bear in mind that allozymes are relatively conserved molecular markers, thus, it cannot be discarded the possibility that they were unable to detect population divergence which is due to more recent and intermittent physical boundaries such as upwelling.

Moreover, the amount of migration detected is probably the main cause of the low genetic differentiation found for allozymes here, but other evolutionary forces, such as genetic drift and mutation rates, for example, must be in action to generate and maintain the differentiation detected for microsatellites.

The first one was carried out using 19 allozyme s loci in the northern Mexican populations, where a genetic diversity of zero was estimated (Soltis et al.

Surveys of genetically based population structure in chum salmon were initially conducted with allozymes. Okazaki (1982b), in a study evaluating allozyme variation in Asian and North American populations, concluded that there were 11 geographically based regional groups of populations across the Pacific Rim.

Diagnostic allozymes have been found for specific identification of nearly all the mosquitoes investigated for this purpose, but there is apparently no way of predicting which enzyme systems are most likely to be involved in interspecific divergences.
