For example, a strong degree of divergence at neutral microsatellite DNA loci between two adjacent populations implies either that there is restricted dispersal between these populations (and hence restricted potential gene flow) or that while interpopulation dispersal may be significant, these loci are linked to regions under divergent selection such that realized gene flow between localities is low.
