From: Mitochondrial sequences reveal a clear separation between Angolan and South African giraffe along a cryptic rift valley

Figure 1

Phylogenetic tree based on mitochondrial DNA encompassing 161 giraffe individuals. The topology corresponds to a maximum clade credibility tree obtained from BEAST, but branch lengths were calculated by maximum likelihood in Treefinder. Each dot represents one individual giraffe, colors are coding for the respective subspecies/population. “z” denotes captive (zoo) individuals, asterisks at branches indicate Bayesian posterior support >0.95. Abbreviations for the samples are explained in the text and in Table 1.
