Additionally, the relationships between the peninsular populations was somewhat inconsistent with their pattern of distribution given that a Gunung Jerai specimen (LSUHC 9693) grouped with samples from Bukit Chabang, precluding exclusivity (reciprocal monophyly) between these lineages as well as the polytomus relationships of the three major
