Atlantic Yellow-legged Gull (atlantis)

(last update: October 12, 2011)

Fig. 3 Haplotype phylogeny and occurrence of haplotypes across taxa (colours and dots in grid cells).

The Kitsch-tree below was constructed from Kimura 2-parameter distances and includes only haplotypes shared between at least two populations (n = 26; sequences are identified by haplotype numbers, cf. Appendix I). Support values for internal branches were derived by likelihood mapping (puzzle 4.0.2, Strimmer & von Haeseler 1997). Major haplotype clades are colour-coded and identified by roman numerals. Occurrences of haplotypes resulting from obvious recent introgression are indicated by dots in the grid cell diagram.
