Solution

The correct answer is "more; more". Modern alpine chipmunk populations are more isolated and have more genetic differences from one another compared to historical alpine chipmunk populations. This is likely due to changes in their environment, such as climate change, which have caused populations to become isolated from each other. This isolation prevents gene flow between populations, leading to increased genetic differences.
