“…Meanwhile, mountain ranges constitute effective physical barriers to genetic exchange among deeply divergent clades of C. striata in Peninsula Malaysia (Jamsari, Tan, & Siti-Azizah, 2011a;Tan, Jamsari, Muchlisin, & Siti-Azizah, 2015;Tan, Jamsari, & Siti-Azizah, 2012). The magnitude of genetic differentiation between populations of the species has been suggested to systematically be a function of spatial and temporal isolations among them (Siti-Balkhis, Jamsari, Tan, Yasin, & Siti-Azizah, 2011;Tan, Jamsari, & Siti-Azizah, 2016). Moreover, natural inclination of C. striata to persist in a particular habitat on a geological timescale makes it a suitable model from which the evolutionary history of the drainage system in an area can be extrapolated (Adamson et al, 2012;Adamson, Hurwood, & Mather, 2010).…”
