  1. Site numbers refer to: 1 - Fingal (northern east coast of Australia); 2 - Cape Conran (southern east coast of Australia, east of the former Bassian Isthmus); 3 - Kilcunda (southeastern Australia, west of the former Bassian Isthmus); 4 - Antofagasta (Chile). Number of sequences generated for each site and genetic marker: Fingal: COI = 20, ANT = 38; Cape Conran: COI = 21, ANT = 28; Kilcunda: COI = 30, ANT = 30; Antofagasta: COI = 21 (including 6 sequences from Castilla et al. [34]), ANT = 52. Statistics include: h - haplotype or gene diversity; π - nucleotide diversity; ΦST - pairwise fixation index among sites based on mtDNA COI haplotypes; FST - pairwise fixation index among sites based on nrDNA ANT alleles; Hobs and Hexp - observed and expected mean heterozygosity based on ANT sequence data. Asterisks indicate significant fixation indices (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01) and values in brackets are standard deviations.
