Fig. 5. CDF plots of different populations of North African 7a- rentola, males (above) and females (below) plotted separately. fascicularis, in East Libyan Cyrenaica, belong to a sepa- rate clade (clade D). Genetic distances among Libyan and Tunisian Tarentola clades are provided in Table 2. Two of the mitochondrial clades occur sympatrically or parapatrically: T. deserti (Libya) and T. sp. complex' (clade H) at Itwellia (western Libya), clades C and D along the desert road Tobruk-Ajdabiya in Cyrenaica. DISCUSSION Parapatric or sympatric occurrence of mitochondrial clades could be interpreted in different ways: either different bi- ological species or co-existence of two mitochondrial dis- tinct populations in a mixed interbreeding organismal pop- ulation. In the case of T. deserti in NW Libya, there is ev- idence of the former explanation, as the molecular differ- ences coincide with morphological differences.
