They inhabit tropical and montane cloud forests where their populations are separated by the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, which divides them east from west. We used mitochondrial DNA control region sequences to compare genetic structure among populations of these two species. We also measured genetic connectivity among populations of the two species and assessed the distribution model for each species. We found high genetic diversity in both species; the FST comparisons values were low to high in S. hondurensis and low in S. parvidens. For S. hondurensis, the largest FST values were found between populations from the Sierra de Los Tuxtlas (SLTX) and those from the Sierra Madre Oriental (SMOr), Chiapas (HSMCH) and Guatemala (GH). For S. hondurensis, we found isolation by landscape resistance (IBR) where the highland habitat heterogeneity could have induced restrictions to gene flow among populations of the SMOr, SLTX, HSMCH and GH. For S. parvidens, landscape connectivity among populations appears to have contributed to the high level of gene flow and to genetic diversity within populations.} }
