Peripheral isolates are relatively small isolated or semiisolated populations dis? tributed around the periphery of a large central portion of a species' range. Range maps typically show the distribution of a species to be continuous (Udvardy, 1969; Hengeveld, 1990). However, close exami? nation of the distribution of a species or monophyletic group will likely reveal pe? ripheral isolates (Mayr, 1963). Peripheral isolates have been regarded as important units of evolutionary divergence (e.g… CONTINUE READING
