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.
