Statistical parsimony network
Parsimony networks were constructed to infer phylogeographical
relationships among haplotypes using TCS v1.21
(Clément et al., 2000). TCS estimates
genealogical relationships of sequences and collapses identical
sequences into haplotypes (HT). To account for the different mutation
rates underlying base substitutions, indels, and microsatellites, we
followed the two-step strategy described by
Bänfer et al. (2006) and performed by
Guicking et al. (2011). The network was
re-drawn from the TCS output using Adobe Illustrator.
